I'd say you wanna loosen the front sprocket nut with the rear wheel still on either get a friend to keep back brake on or a piece of wood through the wheel to stop it turning. DON'T put bike in gear and use the engine to sto stop the sprocket turning!
I used a cheapo riveter no problems at all, I did grind off the pins though to remove the old chain otherwise the riveters tend to break apparently.
Before you chuck your old chain loop it over the sprocket block the wheel with wood again and that way you can tighten the front sprocket up to torque without putting strain on your new chain.
This is what I did anyway and don't be shy with the grease they give you.
