    You would need a link removal tool (chain tool)

    Their is a tool called a link remover…they even sell them at WalMart…Put the chain on a hard surface that has an opening (vise) tap out the links with the tool mentioned above or with an ice pick and hammer. Oh I forgot you have to slide off the link lock first…looks like a elongated c that goes over the two pins on the link. tap out the pin…repeat.

    If its more costly to purchase a chain removal, and you cant afford it, than just see if any of your friends have some sort of welding tool, then get two peices, from a medal shop that’ll fit perfectly to the ends of your tire medal holder, and just simply weld those peices on as add-ons, do you understand what I mean? I’m sure you do, Good Luck, hun!! Smile!!

    Wow,
    The answer before mine is awesome!

    And to think I already bought a chain breaker! Stupid me!

    THERES A TOOL FOR THAT ITS LIKE A PIECE OF METAL THAT FIT THE CHAIN AND YOU TURN LIKE A SMALL ROD AND IT PUSHES OUT THE PINS THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHAIN MEASURED TO WHAT YOU THEN JUST TURN THE TOOL UPSIDEDOWN AND PUSH THE PINS BACK THROUGH
