    Use a master link. A riveted link is not needed.

    Actually, you can get the old one off with a chain breaker:

    Use a master link for the new chain.

    I use one of these as i use light weight chains for racing and change chains quite frequently, but if you using heavy duty hard links you will need a larger heavy duty model.

    Most brand new chains come with a clip style master link.
    No special tools required to install.
    Only high performance chains come with rivet style master links.
