Removing link on folded bracelet of 6618

Hi Tech guru's...
I need to remove a link on my wifes folded link bracelet off a 6618...Is there an easy method for this or should it be taken to an AD??
Its a two tone folded link bracelet with 266 end links from around '72...I have already moved the position of the buckle in as far as it will go but still about a full link to big....Can anyone help???
Thanx for your time in advance,Rob....

You need to pry the inside of the link up with a flat tipped screwdriver, sounds crude but that is what I have been told. A watchmaker should be able to do this for you.
