Link removal on a gen Omega with screws

[nwolf1716]

This is probably a dumb question, but my buddy just bought one of those ceramic seamsters and he is trying to remove a link on his own, he has unscrewed them but they do not come out.  Do they just need some force or is there a trick.  I told him to take it to an AD but they are closed and he is leaving in the AM.  It has to be an easy way to do it.

Any help would appreciated.

Thanks

Just unscrew the screw on each end, use a pin pusher or pin end of springbar tool or some long piece of metal about 1mm dia and push out the bar inside the screw, should pop out and link opens. Is he overthinking it...if screw is out 95% of the work is done

Yes he did not notice the bar. He just thought it was the screws. Thanks for the help cougar!
