No the cost isnt much more, the parts are cheap and they will need to be removed to do the chain…so just do them.
I SAY THAT…IT SURE IS Needed…Don’t have the guy go in there to do that semi-complex job and cut corners on those inexpensive parts that have everything to do with the longevity of the new chain…
Yeah…let him do it… and he shouldn’t be charging you much more (besides parts) either…I mean he has to deal with all those old parts to do the job…it takes little to nothing to simply install the new parts while they are right there…and probably in his hands too. Those other parts like the guides and tensioner shouldn’t be asked to pull another tour of duty when they already saw the 1st chain thru battle…they wont make it thru the next battle while the chain would be fine…its companion parts need to hold up longevity wise to support the new chain in going the distance…Understand?
