Oh so its off the rig, that makes it easyer. Clamp one end in a vice and grab the other end with some channel locks and pull, spray with some pb blaster or w.e, try clamping the link end in the vice then take a screw driver and slide it through the sleeve and pull while twisting.

I thought it would be easier on your rig. Just us the hi lift and the weight of the axle should pull it out
