I strongly recommend you to get a special tool called a chain breaker. There are improvised methods too, but they're all fiddly and awkward. Unless your nearest bike store is really far away I strongly suggest that you get the proper tool instead. They usually come with instructions anyway, which can be helpful to you.
It is possible to use a hammer, a drift punch and a pipe as an anvil. But it is fiddly, difficult to get it right and has a high risk of injuring yourself and messing up the chain and the bike. I do not recommend it.
9 out of 10 people would get done faster (and with a better result) if they went and bought a chain breaker tool instead of mucking about with improvised methods.
Use a 'chain splitter' device
take out links
you shorten the chain links

Cut one chain into two 2-link sections and the other chain into two 4-link sections. Then, connect one 4-link section to each 2-link section to form a circular chain with 12 links.
There are colored links in three places on the chain. It helps to clean the chain with brake cleaner to find them.There are colored links in three places on the chain. It helps to clean the chain with brake cleaner to find them.
ok so you have your timing chain. there is 20 links in total from bright link to bright link. (18 links between the two bright links) for your balance shaft chain. there is 12,16,20 links from bright link to bright link. as there is three on this chain. once you have them marked you should be able to count 10,14,18 links between those just marked. hope this helped
grind off the pin that holds the links together and grind off how many links you need and just put a master link on it
There are 100 links in a chain. There are 66 feet in one chain. Therefore, one foot is equal to 100/66 = 1.51 recurring (that is, 1.515151...) links.
Have to remove chain links, there is no chain adjustment
A block chain is a chain in which the alternate links are broad blocks connected by thin side links pivoted to the ends of the blocks, used with sprocket wheels to transmit power.
About 68.2.A link is an archaic unit of linear measure. There are 100 links in a chain, there are 66 feet in a chain.
