sram powerlink in 8/9sp are reusable, the 10sp masterlink is NOT

if the chain is dirty, just hose it down with WD-40 or similar to get rid of the dirt, let the WD-40 evaporate and then lube and wipe. repeat the lube and wipe once or twice.

if it's super dirty, get a chain scrubber that can be used while the chain is on the bike and you should clean off the cassette and chainrings too.
