Here's my PSA on this...
So, first off, if you haven't seen all the buzz about 10 speed SRAM powerlinks being non-reusable, that is what SRAM officially states. To me, I don't buy it and I carry a spare so I'm reusing them...they're $10+ each. Also, having more than one powerlink in a chain just doesn't set well with me. So...I'm reusing them and no problems thus far.
So, that being said, they are a bear to get off and here is my method.
1 - Slack the chain...take the rear tire off completely.
2 - Put a skinny zip tie around it vertically on the side plates to mimic the "pinch" you would do normally with your fingers. This acts as the third hand you don't have.
3 - Use a cut (1 foot) section of brake or shifter cable. Thread it through the powerlink on both sides of the pins. Get two plyers and grab each end of the cable. Pull opposite each other (sort of like tying a knot in the cable) and voila...it will pop right off.
4 - Finally just cut the small zip tie off.
I have done this now and after battling it for over an hour this was a very great invention. Obviously there is a tool for this too but I don't do this enough to warrant that. Also, this is obviously not a trail fix so for that, I'd just use your chaintool and punch a pin out if need be on the trail.
*SEE attached pic. Not the best but you'll get the idea.
