I don't see how. I mean, this just is not possible with the SRAM links. There is no way those SRAM link thingies are just going to come off with using your hands only. I mean sure, you guys that can take these off by brute force alone probably have like gorilla hands or something, but I don't see how an average person can take these things off without a tool like the picture above.
