however if you do wish to use a chain breaker instead here are a few links that can help you out

****page #985 as aforementioned
If you use a chain breaker not meant to be used for #25 chain you will damage the links. If it is made to be used with #25 chain and it is damaging link I highly doubt that the company would still be selling it.
