End link removal

Any advice as to how to remove the following 580 end link would be appreciated. Seems like one side of the bracelet removal is easy, while the other side as a difference pin mechanic. Photo attached. Thank You.

both ends of the spring bar should be identical. you may just have an old seized up spring bar.

if you push the whole spring bar through, it should free the end link. the centre link is a part of the bracelet not the end link.
