Like riverbend says- you bend the chain. You bend the chain in the opposite direction that it goes around the sprocket. Curl it back, and it is obvious that you simply drive one link sideways out of the other. The cast iron thing- called a chain detacher, available in any good farm store, is a good buy- but you can do the same thing with a cold chisel and hard iron underneath it. Or clamp the chain in a vise, curl it backwards, and drive the loose link out with a hammer.

Look (compare orientation ) at the chain off your equipment, set the chain on edge and drive (tap) the new link into the slot at the end of the link. Bring back memories? Hope you can understand my jibberish. Good luck.

Bend the links to line up the 'side plate' with the slot and drive them to the side. A chain anvil helps.
