This chain has broke, nicely though.

The brake is on the 3 o'clock looking at the cam-sprocket.

Since its movement is clockwise??? is it impossible to feed the new chain thru now.

Impossible is a big word possibly the right word!

So onto fastlane for a express shipment > new chain

> New guide rails (In&out)

> Any ideas here ______?
i.e. [tensioner, etc]

When fastlane arrives Im sure there will be the link below this post directing me to a reasonable DIY article on replacing the timing chain and correctly finding TDC---
