    Don't even need to go that far. You spray some WD-40 or penetrating fluid and it will slip right off with prybar.

    Clean up the WD-40 before installing new links... and I used dishwashing liquid or Windex and soak the link and it slips right in... with some effort.

    WD40 and any oil will eat the rubber... so be careful!

    I wish mine would have! I tried this for some time but didn't get anywhere... The ends of the bar had crusted up making them bigger than the hole in the links. Even after sanding it down I couldn't shift the little blighters with the trusty pry-pry!

    The washing up liquid was a must for me too when getting the new ones on... I wouldn't even attempt to do it without it! I used fairy... Softer on hands and bushes.
