again, it depends on what condition the chain is in. if the tensioner wasn't nearly fully extended, just a new link. you can get master links that press on or the type with the removable side plate/ clip. just make sure its for the brand of chain you're using. they're different widths.

Are the link pins peened as they come from the manufacturer or is this only a procedure for reinstalling an original factory set link pin that has been pushed /pressed out?
Is the reason to peen because now the link pin hole is ever so slightly enlarged during the removal process?

All the hard links are peened/pressed during manufacture, the soft link or joining link is peened by the installer.
I wouldn't want to re-use an old soft link. If the chain is anywhere near its full adjustment i'd go for a new chain and get a split link to suit that.
