As you are going to be replacing it, I would soak the tight spot in WD if it works Bingo, just remember not to use it on an O ring chain you intend to keep using.

When you say tight spot do you just mean a tight spot in the chain or a seized link?
If its a seized link what PJC says might work but if its just a tight spot I would continue using it as long as its not majorly bad.
