Will someone please point me in the right direction? It's the Driven Chain Kit that I'll be removing from my bike.

Thanks in advance!

angle grinder will go right through that chain.

I'm intending on using it again. Or at least making it so that someone else may use it again.

Stick a 2 x 4 through your rear wheel and brace the wheel against the 2 x 4 and swing arm so that it can't rotate. Remove front sprocket cover, bend locking tabs out on the retaining nut washer (or whatever the hell it is called) and use big breaker bar and socket, or impact wrench and remove front sprocket nut. Remove the rear wheel. Remove master chain link with chain breaker tool. Remove chain and front sprocket. Remove rear sprocket with appropriate wrench. Crack a beer.

grind off the rivets then use the chain breaker.

angle grinder...assuming it's not a clip-on. You're going to just buy another master link for $3 anyways, plus its fun

Doesn't sound too difficult. Can I order the chain breaker tool online? Or is it something I can most likely get locally?

online is cheaper. I have an expensive RK rivet tool. But Motion Pro also makes them for around 90 bucks.
