Cj18 & Gustavo, thanks for both the tips. Have a 6 point 27mm (got it at Lucille's in Hillsboro-do you know the place-best tool store in the Northwet.) My neighbor has an impact wrench-I assume its righty tighty correct-not some strange lefty-let me know if I'm wrong on this one please.
Don't have to change the chain, maybe slight adjustment correct? Manual says torque it to 92ftlbs/92N.m, but everyone who's done this says the front sprocket guy must have been on steroids that day
