How do i fix my chain on my bike?



ok my bike chain has stretched as far as it can!! like the tire cannot move back anymore cause its to far out..i need to get rid of some links..but how do i get rid of the links? what tools do i need?

You would need a link removal tool (chain tool) Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/chain_tool...
Their is a tool called a link remover...they even sell them at WalMart...Put the chain on a hard surface that has an opening (vise) tap out the links with the tool mentioned above or with an ice pick and hammer. Oh I forgot you have to slide off the link lock first...looks like a elongated c that goes over the two pins on the link. tap out the pin...repeat.
If its more costly to purchase a chain removal, and you cant afford it, than just see if any of your friends have some sort of welding tool, then get two peices, from a medal shop that'll fit perfectly to the ends of your tire medal holder, and just simply weld those peices on as add-ons, do you understand what I mean? I'm sure you do, Good Luck, hun!! Smile!!
Wow,
The answer before mine is awesome!

And to think I already bought a chain breaker! Stupid me!
THERES A TOOL FOR THAT ITS LIKE A PIECE OF METAL THAT FIT THE CHAIN AND YOU TURN LIKE A SMALL ROD AND IT PUSHES OUT THE PINS THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHAIN MEASURED TO WHAT YOU THEN JUST TURN THE TOOL UPSIDEDOWN AND PUSH THE PINS BACK THROUGH
