Taking chain off an old bike
I bought an old Volkscycle a few weeks ago. I am in the process of taking everything off to have it repainted. I can pretty much get everything off but the chain. The last chain I took off of a bike, I could see the marking where the lock plate kept the two ends attached. But this chain I can't see it.
What is the best way to take the chain off? Is this chain held on with a pin? And if so will there be a marking to let me no which pin it is?
Thanks in Advance.

If it doesn't have a master link you will need a chain tool to push a couple pins out far enough to remove one of the plates.
