Do yo think I can do enough to the bottom without too much trouble? It's one of those "While I am at it..." things.
I was wondering if the chain was missing that roller when it was installed. That would extra stress on the link, especially when about to enter or exit the sprocket. Over time this could wear out the holes the pin goes through to the oint is cannot hold the tension and pulls through the remaining metal. Just thinking out loud (per se).
