Good luck!!!

Crazy thing is, you talking about the replacement I can still visualize in my head where everything is on the 650F, which force it should be torqued at and so on :D

SWEET All DONE, looks like brand new with the break in grease.

Oh the old chain stretched by 2 1/2 links. And most O rings gone

The chain i buy was from Cycle Gear under their brand name orbit. It is Xring.
I measured the side plate thickness stock chain .080 New Orbit chain .097
