Do you have the chain with you?

If so, we can figure this out right now.

Find the master link contained in its own package inside the box the chain came in.

On the clip type, you're looking for the sort of U-shaped part (that's the clip).
Clip type:


On the rivet type, you'll have a link with 2 posts, a link cover and prolly 4 o-rings in the package.

I have an RK rivet tool that works the balls. Just be sure to throw some grease at the cutting pin before you use it or else it will shatter.....yes, shatter.
