VSF Aqua Terra 8500 - can't remove bracelet

Hi guys, I purchased a VSF Aqua Terra 8500 and it's great but I would prefer it on a strap rather than the bracelet.

Here's the problem. I can't remove the bracelet! I have a precision fork tool and I'm able to pull the spring bars in but the end link seems to be very tight and it looks like the tightness prevents the bracelet from coming out.

I may be doing something wrong. I have good few watches but none with bracelets so please let me know if it requires any special technique to remove the bracelet.

Thanks is advance.

Having the right tool that enables you to squeeze both ends of the spring bar is critical.
