Tim, do you intend to do this yourself? If so, there are quite a few tools that will have to purchase, look at the last page.

Read the PDF and see if you really want to tackle this yourself.

The procedures for this chain repair are endless. There are so many components that must be removed, some of witch require new gaskets, etc.

You can call this online dealer and see if they will ship to Canada.
