Re: Stuck sprocket - need advice

It's good to see the sprocket is off.

I know I'm late to the party here, but if this happens to someone again here are a couple more ideas to toss in. (don't you hate it when people give advice when it is too late?)

1. Heat up the sprocket. Alot. Try not to heat the shaft. The temp. difference between the two parts will enlarge the hole in the sprocket.

2. When beating on something you don't want to deform, use a brass hammer. I love my little brass hammer used to assemble gearboxes.
