Turn the bolt until you think it won't take any more and whack the link as close as possible to the joint. It'll pop right off.
I agree with tossing the fork in the trash, but get a SET of pullers in as many sizes as possible and do as Feets says. It's the right way!
HF has a multi size set for as good price. Has worked for all my needs. Teeth that grip the item you are attempting to pul could be a bit thinner, but has yet to fail me.
