Depends on whether it has had a quicklink fitted or not and if you intend to reuse it or not. Most quicklinks split apart if you push the ends together, although there's one that you bend to open. If you can spot a link with tiny slits on the pointing towards each other between the rivets, then that's a quicklink. If it hasn't got a quicklink the easiest tool to use is a chain breaker which will push a rivet out in a controlled manner so that the chain comes apart. For some chains this rivet can be pushed back in again when it's time to close the chain again.

∙ 13y agoIf it has a quicklink/master link you can pop that open to pull the chain off the bike.
If it hasn't I'd recommend a chain breaker tool.
If you're not planning to reuse the chain you can cut it with whatever you like. You'll still need a chain breaker tool to size the new chian though.
There's no practical need beside excessive boredom to pull a chain apart bit by bit.
