You’d have to grind the end off of a rivet to break the chain. A bearing supply house might have a master link.
grind off the rivit heads from one side of a single chain link then pry off the plate from that side. auto parts and hardware stores usually carry master links
Everything’s open today.
a hammer and a pin punch on the connecting link…maybe you should get a bicycle chain and practice.
Use a punch( straight) the same diameter or smaller. Back the link with the vise or a small socket so the pin will drive through. You must remove two links to reassemble the chain. (male and female links. Reassemble and peen over the replaced pins. Done
Grind the end of the pin off,drive it through with a small diameter punch.You can get a master link at Napa or you can try your local hardware store ,they carry them most of the time.Lawnmower shops and tractor supply shops also have master links.Good Luck.
