Got it !

Is there a chain thats finished in black as this one that would be less prone to rust and suit our Steamer Tiger:

They don't make chains that don't rust to the best of my knowledge, they do however make many varieties of chain oil and chain grease, it even comes in spray cans, some small enough to put in your pocket  :icon_wink:

Hi Sin,

Yes i totally agree. I've found it easy to use a dry chain lubricant and I'll continue to do so. On that note I'll get a white metal finish X ring chain by DID as they seem to well rated.

........... We're you happy with the way it was before, then just count the teeth on the ones you have and order the same combo or we'll send BruKen round with a pack of Jeyes finest medium grit paper   

I wouldn't    Don't you be volunteering my services 

Thanks Sin.

I'm not looking at doing this my self as I've got a recommended mechanic that says he can do it for £45 !

Bite his hand off cos taking the nut off your front sprocket is going to take some serious muscle I'd imagine. When I got mine she had a wee bit of corrosion and I nearly got a hernia and burst my poop valve trying to undo it. I gave in and cut it off. Along with the tab washer you might want a new nut, just in case. It goes on pretty tight, ...scary tight for a meek stick man like myself

Electric impact wrench is the sweet tool which you need. Every tool box should have one. Mine's a 20-year old Black & Decker. Has really saved my pucker string when working on really tight nuts and bolts.
