Help with a Citizen(?) Jubilee bracelet.

Hi, we have a Citizen Jubilee bracelet that we are trying to shrink. There are three removable links available, but how to get them off? I have attached a pic, and can see the arrows. That usually means this way to remove, right? But there is a bump in the slot, so should we open that end of the link to get the sliding part out?

and for the regular links, I presume that to remove them we pry open the two small links and then re fold them. Correct?

thanks for any help!

You just insert the straight end of a spring bar tool into the gap and push the bump in the slot, the pin should slide right out. Sometimes they take a bit of force if they’re tight.
