Chain and pin

[Giovanni]

I have a shimano lx (hg73) chain on my first mtb, as i have to reinstall it
on the bike i don't know if i'm going right or wrong. The chain is cut in
the right lenght as the bike, before being brought to me, has done yet some
miles. Now i have the chain and two pins, these two pins are longer than the
chain width and they also show a cut around the body that, to me, could mean
that once into the chain they have to be broken but it's my idea and before
destroying something i would like someone to tell me if i'm right.
I posted a picture of the chain, the pin and some strange things i have no
idea what they could be on

Scroll down to Procedure for Shimano chain.

As far as I know you will need a chaintool.
