Sprocket swap question

Well maybe its not called a sprocket but the forward gear that is directly connected to the engine is what I'm talking about. I've got a 48t in the back and I'm going one more down in the front.

Yeah I know a 60t would get me up nice but I want to have enough top end for the twisties and the red and blue.

So anyways I'm at school so I have limited tools but I was wondering if it would be possible to switch it out by simply moving the back end up and then getting the chain off. It's and endless chain so I dont have a master link to take off.

Any ideas for how I should go about this?

yes you can do it without switching your chain

move the rear axle all the way up take the chain off the sprockets and swap the front sprocket, put the chain back on and tighten it up - you're good to go.
