We don't mind the "noobiest" of questions 'cause we was all beginners once, too!. Ask away....

The easiest way to deal with the Link style swivels is to get yourself a pair of Retaining ring pliers that are show here, or something that spreads the link clip holding the links. They are expensive, but have save me time and product when visiting clubs or gyms with link swivels.

Many people do it with a small knife blade or flat head screw driver, but your can stick your finger or bend the locking clip if you're not careful.

(After a really nasty cut on a needed finger trying to do it with a knife several years ago, I sprung for the pliers you see in the picture )
