Bracelet links stuck together

SomeGingerWatchNerd

Hi, here for some help, 2 links on my Rotary Avenger bracelet decided to get themselves jammed together and I can't seem to get them to come unstuck. They aren't links with pins so the links can't be removed and replaced. Tried using something as a lever to force them apart but no luck, same with using a bit of soap to try and lubricate the links, or brute force. Running out of options here.

Rubber mallet to free the link?

Tried that, unfortunately with such a small surface it's hard to get enough force to budge anything

I suspect you want to bend the nearby link backwards to free up the center link, then to move the offending link. In other words, don't straighten, fold in half at stuck point. Then unbend part that won't unbend. Pull links away from each other, or push towards each other, at same time as trying to twist flat.

If that doesn't work, hit it. Put a wood block or other non-marring buffer on top of the link and aim to flatten it with the mallet. Or got a vice? Or vice grips? Same thing except slower.

Get in contact with the brand’s customer service/support. They might be able to provide guidance.

Worse comes to worse, you can always try WD-40
