This afternoon I struggled to get a easy-link (or whatever SRAM calls it) to "release" so I could clean the chain on one of my bikes. Granted, this chain has been in use for quite a few years before I got around to removing and cleaning it, but sheesh you'd think it would still come apart relatively easily. Nope, I tried dosing it with TriFlow, then with Liquid Wrench, and finally with good old reliable PB Blaster, but none of them loosened it up enough to allow the easy link to be squeezed together to the point where it would come apart. I wound up resorting to the use of a chain tool to forcefully get it apart. Anyone have any recommendations of either a solvent or a tool that will aid in the removal of these so-called easy links?
