3 GEARS ON FRONT AND 7 IN REAR,,,I PUT MORE FORCE THAN I SHOULD'VE AND THE 56TH LINK NEEDS REPLACEMENT, IAM tempted to just buy a new chain then I'll adjust it with tool (pin etc).
I have a $25 budget, I don't do off road and new inner tubes and tires are for asphalt smooth roads I guess,so I am excited in doing this right THE VERY FIRST TIME
ADVICEZ ARE EXTREMELY WELCOME TY
How do you know which link is the 56th link?

The Z51 does come with a masterlink. The Z50 (cheaper 6-7 speed chain) does not. You need a tool to adjust length on both regardless.
