What a great bunch of guys here. I can't wait to get back to Portland, OR and get started replacing my chain and tensioners. More questions! Being a newbe to the MBZ I could use more details about what all do I need to change out. Tensioners, guides, gears,etc etc. Is there a special tool for removing the tensioner pins? are they threaded or just a tight push/pull fit? Should I replace all the tensioners and guides or just the guides or just the tensioners? I have about 80,000 miles on a rebuilt replacement motor and a bit nervous about throwing a chain on it. Total mileage on the car is about 151,000 and I want to be able to take it out of town without a worry about at least the chain. Any and all ideas and information is appreciated. Thanks a million.
