Is their a knack

Not all links are the same.
Some need a gentle squeeze together before they slide apart. Others need to be pounded with a lump hammer and sworn at before the grudgingly can be prised apart.

Unfortunately, both types go together easily, so you can't tell what you've got until you need to reach for the lump hammer.

I had the nack, lost it, couldn't get it back and bought the right tool for the job. Never looked back.

This ^^^. A few quid for a lifetime of less stress.

Agree. But this chain is on my turbo trainer bike. So want it fixed this weekend. Not going to miss a weekend 'ride' The remover tool looks a good investment for long term use. :D
 
Re:

Just take a link out and join the chain the old fashioned way.
Not recommended, but works.
