Thats an example of the type of braclet it is. Thanks in advance

Check out this webpage:

http://www.gokartsupply.com/chain.htm

About 3/4 of the way down you'll see a chain breaker and 1/2 way down the page you'll see a master link (used to rejoin the two sides). You could buy the tool yourself but it's probably not worth it for a single use.

So, I would take it into a bike repair shop, they'll do it for you. They will probably throw a master link into it to rejoin the two sides. Link should be less than a $1 and they may charge you a buck or two for labor.
