It should just slide off. I've never had a problem getting the sprocket off, except that ot quite a tight squeeze to clear the chain.

I'd dribble some 3-in-1 oil or suchlike into the splines and try gently tapping it with a hide mallet or a big screwdriver handle.

Yep, should just slide off mate.

Just be very careful when you do the bolts back up again when the new sprocket is on - they are like chocolate....I know this from experience/ineptitude.

"Ooooh, I'll just nip it up a little bit mo......ah, f**k!......lol....

Is there much in the way of corrosion etc. there?

If there is it might need to soak in overnight mate, followed by what moto suggested - a bit of tapping to "crack" the crap that's built up in the area.

Sorry can't help anymore than this fella.

Jacko.

Yeah, go have a beer and try again in the morning!

Good luck with it.
