I have a heavy bicycle chain that I need to shorten in order for it to fit on my new sprocket. I have disconnected the master link but I need to remove several links in order for it to fit properly. I do not have chain splitter tool and I notice they no longer sell these things in your average department store. Is there a way to remove chain links without it without damaging the integrity of the chain itself? Thanks so much in advance for anyone with any kind of an answer.

Walmart has them for $4-$5. Other than that I don't think you can shorten it without ruining it.
