Problem with my chain

I have a chain with a Master Link that is not re-usable, but I can't get it off. I don't have a chain breaker. Is there some trick to getting this Master Link off. I could use my fingers when I had the re-usable type.

You don't say what kind it is.
If it is a SRAM, the Park MLP-1 pops it right off.

You can get a chain tool for less than $5 at Walmart. There is no reason for a bicyclist to not own a chain tool.

Take a pic of your master link, and others should be able to help.
