How to free off seized drive chain?

[johno74]

Ive got a brand new 520 o-ring chain that a few links are seized up on.
In the old days i wouldve bought a length to replace it but dont seem to be able to do that now..
Havent got enough wd40 to soak the chain completely..
Any ideas that are quick n cheap?

Don't use WD40!! It will kill the o rings :D

(see I was listening boys!)

heat it up in a chain bath that alway use to work on my trials bike chains and they went in stiff and squeeky come out all nice and greasy :)

bucket of parafin or diesel oil................

i would be a tad concerned why a new o ring chain was seized in the first place.
if corrosion has got past the o rings and into the pins then damage is already done.

and if its brand new ,surley its garanteed...????:D:D

I second the diesel. makes a great penetrating oil.

Boil it in grease.

Left over sweet tin from Xmas, camping stove/blowtorch/cooker, tin of grease.

Give it long enough to heat the chain through so any air behind the O rings expands, then let it cool in the grease.

Once the grease has set, take the chain out wipe off the excess.

If that didn't do it, it's shagged.
