Chain pins are an interference fit, which means they rely on friction to stay in place.
I've always felt one should not break a chain unnecessarily, that it compromises the integrity.
I could be wrong.
HOWEVER
I have untangled many bike chains, and if it will really take 2 hours and possibly cause an ulcer maybe bicycle mechanics is a bit beyond someone's reach...
