Your chain is stretched. You need a new one. It will come with a master link. You don't necessarily need a chain breaker if you have a grinder you could grind a pin out of a link and the chain will come apart.
It you run that worn chain and it breaks it seems it's at least a 50/50 chance that it will punch a hole in your case right by where the shifter is.
Also somebody correct me if I am wrong but if you got it off of the sprocket couldn't you just remove it in one piece over the wheel?
Buy new chain and new sprockets. They have package deals.

I'm picturing my quad in my head...........and if you got the chain off of both sprockets couldn't you just pull the chain off over the tire/wheel...oh, heel guard might have to come off too. Now I'm going to have to look at it when I get home and probably prove to myself that I'm an idiot.
As for the chain, I never said the stock chain had a master link, just that you could grind out a pin and take it off that way without a breaker.

"As for the chain, I never said the stock chain had a master link, just that you could grind out a pin and take it off that way without a breaker."
Your right, I mis-read it.
I have a new chain breaker in the drawer. Bought it prolly 12 years ago. I see it every now and then. LOL
Like you, I use a grinder.
Seeins we're on the subject, might as well explain how to squeeze the new link together eh..
To install, you need:: vise grips and a 6mm nut.
Put the nut over the pin side and squeeze w/vise grips. Go back and forth on the pins tightening the vise grips as you press it together.
BTW DVXDude:: all chains are not the same. example: a DID master link may not fit a Regina chain and so on for the different brands. You'll need to know the brand of chain you have now to get master links and the 1/2 link that I feel you won't find.
