The consensus around here seems to be to replace the chain every 200k miles or so. If you're at 400k you're definitely due...and at this stage fixing a few degrees of timing is nothing compared to a chain that lets loose - cheap insurance, as they say.

I just did mine and it's not that big a deal...of course I built a guide tool so I could do it without a helper.
