As you're asking the question i think it must be the riveted type, as the clip type of pretty obvious. You would be advised to either get this done at a dealer, or buy the right tool to do the job (try Halfords, M&P, or similar in the UK). Failure to get this right could mean the chain comes off. When they do the results are unpredictable, but can result in damage to engine cases. The frequency of doing this job can be greatly reduced by fitting a chain oiler, such as the Scott. This multiplies chain life by three times, in my personal experience. There are two main types of joining link: those with a clip, and those that need to be “riveted”.
