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.

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

a hammer and a pin punch on the connecting link…maybe you should get a bicycle chain and practice.

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

You’d have to grind the end off of a rivet to break the chain. A bearing supply house might have a master link.
