I've done it. Don't recall the exact steps, but I do recall it was pretty major surgery. I had to replace the bearings for the rollers that had worn to such an extent that they allowed the chain to skip teeth. If you're going there, you might wanna take a look at the bearings for the rollers as well and replace them as needed -- they're cheap enough.

Thanks, I have all the new parts I need.The new drive chain seems small.I thought there might be a proper way of installing it? thanks mike
Don't remember that being a problem when I rebuilt mine. Maybe install it together with the gearing as a single unit?
