shimano chains you can break anywhere and use a new chain pin when installing the new chain, yes match lenght of old chain if the lenght of old chain is fine

sram chains have master links that are removable, no pins needed

sometimes new chain may not match up with older cogs and front rings, can cause chain to skip around

make sure rear cable housing is lubed, cable not too tight
