A BFH. Well, tap the links from alternating directions to get the tapered pin to come out. Maybe hitting it a little harder than just tapping. :D

I'm sure there is some sort of puller that would work, but a hammer works with a little bit of elbow grease.

Also try applying Penetrating fliud to it for a bit. I had a siezed shock bolt that i hammered with a mallet (rubber/plastic ends) using the plastic side and lots on PB Blaster and 3in1 Penitrating fluid, took a while but it came out and didn't damage the bolt threads. I applied lots of anti-sieze to the bolt and threads prior to reassembly.

After dismantling my jeep completely and breaking numerous bolts, I am going to try to remember to put antisieze on every bolt.
If you want to run with the big dogs you have to be able to pee in the tall grass.
