Winding in a chain, have I got this right - you remove a tensioner, "Break" the existing chain, link in the new one, gradually turn the engine over until all the old chain is out and you're back to the joint, break the joint and make a new one new chain to new chain and replace thetensioner you pulled out earlier? Sounds a darn sight easier than the nightmare job My wife's 9000 went through last year. Cheers Tony
