Do you know how to replace the red plastic "chain shortening hooks"? I contacted Thule and they stated I need to buy new chains!

I had the same problem and found out I had the wrong size chains. I needed them immediately so I had to buy from a local dealer. Amazon was great and took back the ones that did not fit. I followed the sizing instructions on Amazon website and they were still to small for my tires.

OMG..!! really !!!! I no have problems with my chains and now I don't have to see this red part and gave one idea ... but maybe you can use something metalic or you can use the long tail in plastic to tide any cable too look more nice you know ? what I am talking about ? well if yes used the more strong .... good luck

I would try a lowes or home depot, local hardware store for a high strength carabener , may need two , im sure they could hook you up with something, take the chains with you also. I had to lengthen the chain that completesthe triangle on the outside of the tire. Good Luck!

According to Thule website, you need the next smaller size chain.http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/automotive/detail-page/ThuleSnowChains2011.pdf

Call the company. They actually make a special chain for this saw. I found that out the hard way.

Nope. I hope you have better luck than I did. I did order an extra bar and chain as they were pretty cheap. I sent it all back and it was accepted. Never used the new bar or chain.

I cannot say YES to that, need to count the number of links on your old chain to the number stated on the new chain. It took me awhile to find the one I needed for my Remington....Good luck....

Not trying to dodge this... I just don't know. I had the same problem and I went to their website:http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=OCS&SellReg;=USA&Lang;Id=ENG and looked up my chain saw. They have the parts color coded to the size of the replacement kit you need. Check it out.

Yes. You should have no problem. I would replace the chain too. Mine was original and in poor condition. Much quieter too.

I tried to find replacement collar posts for you, but failed. Looks like the only solution for you (and for me, as well) is to buy a second unit. At least they're inexpensive, and we'd have other spare parts if we need them. Good luck. (and because of your inquiry, I tightened up my posts)

I bought that model chains based on the owners manual. I have not verified they fit . I live in So. California and only have them if I make a trip into snow country.

not sure but i think you can just take the chain to your local saw shop or hardware store and get them to make up a new one the right length.

I used the existing long chain but had to shorten it by removing one link. The kit comes with the short chain and that works fine. You'll love it.

If you need to replace the pnuematic arms in this system i suggest calling Thule as all their products have life time warranty. they will ask for the serial# on the unit and ask for a picture showing the problem with the unit. asfter that they will mail you a new set. ive done this and their customer support is very helpful.

I forgot up mention that we also bought a clamp to hook the end of the chain that was around the limb to another link in the chain to secure the chain around the limb. Forgot the exact name of this type of clamp but again make sure it fits through the links on the chain.

You'll either need to buy a chain kit or make your own by buying 10ft of chain and 4 appropriate sized quick links. They attach to the steel loops on the bottom of the bumper brackets. Twist the chain if the drag on the ground to shorten them.

I'm pretty sure it won't fit. I just removed my chains and didn't replace them with anything.

Sorry but I cannot not help you with this. I have not yet needed to replace the chain so I would not know where to get a replacement.
