Hi Jack:
Sounds interesting. I’ve owned a bunch of chain saws and never had to replace the chain adjuster. That said, it should be quite straightforward.
Start by removing the bar and chain.
It NEVER hurts to clean things at this point.
Depending on the saw, there are a few different devices, but the principal is the same….. turn screw, holder provides “anchor” point, adjuster moves along screw….pointy bit fits in slot in bar to make bar move.
Once you can see it, you should be able to slide it out, or unscrew it until it is free.
Take your time, be patient, and have fun.
Keep track of the various plates that sandwich the bar so you know how to put it back together.
Cheerfuls!

It is common to replace not only the tensioners, but also the timing chain and even the sprockets on which the chain rides. If your engine has a water pump that is driven by the timing chain, that too will be recommended for replacement. The procedure is similar if your engine has a timing belt rather than a chain.
You may find the need to replace your timing chain at some point; however with the right tools, a service manual and some mechanical know-how, you can do it yourself. Just be aware that this is a major job and can have serious consequences for your engine if done incorrectly.

** This proceedure must be used on ANY brand chain saw. Here is why. If the bar nose is not lifted upon adjustment, when cutting, the nose will move upward, the chain will have a ‘droop’ away from the bar and appear to have loosened while cutting. Any contact with a small branch will flip the chain off of the bar. If you re-adjust it improperly, the same senerio will occur the next cut.
