Bent chain link

I've somehow managed to bend a link in my ultegra chain... Is it possible to replace individual links? I have a chain tool but as far as i know this is only for use with the removable link.

Thanks

    Seems like a good idea to get the KMC missing link which will replace the bent one - link remover will take out any link, but when I take out a link I first like to grind the pin down so that it is flush with the link.

    Yeah if it's just one link then replace it with a KMC missing link, if it's a couple of links then personally I'd buy a new chain, cut it to length and use the extra links to patch the current chain (plus you'll get joining pins with the new chain) then you have a spare ready to go for when the current one wears out.
