Zookeeper: I though we could be civil about this BUT I asked to have a description of way to check the chain and gears WITHOUT diassembling anything. Your method involves REMOVING THE chain and then visually checking the links themselves.
How is that simpler than "my" method? Hmmmm? I never claimed "credit" for the idea but I CAN tell you that I am the only one here to have described it in detail and I've done so several times in the four years that I've been here. I wanted to see if anyone learned from my description or whether I was wasting my time. I did so with the intent of helping people rather than "toot my own horn", "claim credit" or explain it once again.
