I recently had occaison to take my chain off, and had a hard time
getting the SRAM PowerLink apart. My solution was to take a short
length of insulated automotive electrical wire, and loop it through
the two rollers that I wanted to take apart, then twist a bit with a
pliers. This pulled the two roller close enough together to take them
apart easily.
I lube my chain with melted parafin wax. I heat it on a charcoal
grill in a two-pound coffee can, and when the melted parafine has
penetrated the chain, I remove it with a pliers, wipe the excess
from the chain with a cloth and hang it up to cool. This lube doesn't
attract any dirt, and doesn't "sling" off and mess up your bike. I
have used chains for as much as 7500 miles before replacing using this
parafin for a lube.
