These are helpful suggestions, worth trying. What I usually do is put as much slack in the chain as i can, then turn the master link vertically, but I'm never able to squeeze the link and slide it open at the same time. The wipperman link is kind of heart shaped - the center of the link has a ridge on only on the top instead of having the hour glass shape with ridges along both edges. I think that's why I don't have any problem removing one, but can't get the other off. I've also had difficulty with Shimano chains when I bought aftermarket links that didn't fit well.
