How to locate master link
The master link has an elongated clip on one side of the link. You have to look carefully at every link until you find it. The clip will only be on one side of the chain, so you may have to look at both sides. Put a dot of white paint on one side of the chain so you know when you have looked at the entire length of chain before looking on the other side. If you're lucky, you should find it rather quickly.

If it is loose get a 9 mm combination wrench, loosen the clamp located on the front derailleur at the end of the cable. Pull the cable through the clamp and make the cable tight then tighten down the clamp with your wrench. This should make it go up to the biggest gear now. If it doesn't play with the screws, they are travel limiters.
How do i take apart the brake casings and replace them?
Usually the nut on the rear brake caliper is a 10mm. Loosen the nut and the caliper should spring open. Pull on the cable housing where it touches the caliper and it should pull out of the cable clamp that you loosened to start the process. Pull the cable housing off of the cable. Look at the cable and see if it is rusty. If it is then replace it. There is a good chance that the cable housing is rusty inside of it as well, it's a good idea to replace it too. Go to your favorite bike supply store and get a replacement cable and housing that is longer than the one you removed. When you get back to working on the bike , remove the cable from the housing, if it has an end on both ends of the cable cut the one off that you don't need. Once you have the cable removed from the housing pick up the cable housing, compare it to the original housing and cut the new one the same length as the original. Thread it back into the holders on the bike as the old one was. Now install the cable onto the bicycle. Let the new cable protrude out of the housing, thread it into the cable clamp that you loosened in the beginning, squeeze the caliper together and pull on the cable. Now that you are holding the cable tight with one hand take the 10mm wrench and tighten the clamp. Project finished.
