How do you remove links from mens puritan watches?

On a couple links close to the clasp you will see arrows. If you look at the side of the links with the arrows you'll notice a circle that the other links don't have. This is actually a pin. I was able to remove it with a corkscrew on my pocket knife. A fork, nail, etc. would probably work just as well. You'll have to remove two of the pins to get one link out. Channel-lock pliers helped in getting the pins back in.
