Chain lubrication is a common problem . Liquid lubricants penetrate to the inside of the links and are not easily displaced, but quickly attract dirt and result in rusting. Dry lubricants, often containing wax or Teflon, have poor penetrating qualities unless carried in an evaporating solvent, but stay cleaner in use. The cardinal rule for long chain life is never to lubricate a dirty chain, as this washes abrasive particles into the rollers. Chains should be cleaned before lubrication, this prevents rusting.

If it's rusted solid and you REALLY don't want to replace it, you can break it free with visegrips and liquid wrench or marvel mystery oil. Once it is moving freely, just put it on the bike and start riding it. The rust will wear off of any working surface.

Use naval jelly and brush it on - don't get it on you - it is very acidic. Let it sit for a while and then hose it off.

Or soak it in a water-muratic acid mixture and the rust will come off. Same thing - don't get it on you.

After it is washed off, oil it very heavily to keep it rust free.

There is; you remove the chain and soak it in rust remover and wire brush it.

If it's heavily rusted you might find it better just to buy a new one.
