    You should be able to take a link out if it's very slack, you need a little tool you can buy from halfords etc. Or a bike shop nearby might do it for next to nothing.

    Move the back wheel backwards a little bit.

    yup as said if it has horizontal dropouts(where the wheel slides in) then loosen it and move the wheel back.
    then tighten it back up.
