I am trying to remove the end links from a CF oysterflex Daytona. Man, they are stubborn. I have tried the tweezers, but to no avail. Any suggestions on something I have not considered? I am even considering a small drill to drill them out.

Removing endlinks

Some ideas
WD40 or oil of some kind to lube it.
A proper U shaped pin removal tool.
Two screwdrivers on each side prying at the same time. Tape off the lugs.
Touch a needle tipped soldering iron on the springbar for a few seconds

If nothing else works, you'll have to buy this expensive Bergeon tool
And don’t buy the AliX knockoff
They bend like nothing when I used them. Waste of money
Please don't resort to drilling @NeferiousnessPrior25 ... If my own previous experience is anything to go by, the springbars will remain gleefully unaffected by your efforts while the surrounding case and end links will get ripped to buggery by the drill bit as it deflects off the springbar and chews up its surroundings. You'll be left with that feeling (oh so familiar to me) of "Why the **** did I think THAT was a good idea..? And why isn't there a Ctrl-Z for everything?!!"
Although that does imply I'm judging you by my own piss-poor "modding" abilities. You may of course have good hand-eye coordination and be an absolute surgeon with a tiny drill.
But do consider the dedicated tool options first. I generally find the Bergeon to be the most useful, and get excellent consistent results using the 3153:

The 6767 is also very good
Even the AliX knockoff is good
I just found this on AliExpress: 13,79€ | 316L Stainless Steel China Made 6767-F Watch Spring Bar Removal Tool with 1.4mm 1.2mm 0.8mm Tip
