...requiring cutting and needing to be cut are two entirely different things.

Cutting the chain will not ruin it as most chains are for universal applications.

just sucks, if they state chain requires no modification for install , then it should be just that..

Look where it's made...they make millions of chains for different applications, it's to be expected sadly....

Not a hard process, there are many threads dedicated to just that along with a video or two- @c10 has made a video or two on the subject.
