You can use a bench or angel grinder, you need to grind down the pins that hold the chain together. then drive them out with a punch... remember take out the link right after the master link otherwise you will need anther master link...

Yes it's easy but the pins will sometimes need some good whacks to get them out. Unless you've changed gearing your chain may be worn out.

No need for new pins, you just put your master link in place of the old link...

I agree with sixsixT, It may be time for a new chain...
