We replace the chain when it is stretched and remove it when repairing the engine.

To replace the chain, you need to remove the engine from the GAZelle NEXT car

To perform the work, you will need keys: hexagons for 5, 6, socket heads for 10, 15 and a device for holding the phase sensor drive disk from turning.
