.....without the chain on.
well it does if you use an impact air system not exactly back yard regular tooling , there are however Impact drivers in 1/2 drive that can hold the socket and you can bang on the driver with a big copper malletcad600 wrote:Bend the retention washer out of the way and use an air impact gun.

ok thats great i have one...but you guys are missing the point... It's in Nuetral sooo...it just spins, and i dont want to hold the sprocket with a pry bar b/c i would have to lean the prybar against the block, and i really dont want to chip the block or anything in theretkclow wrote:+1 thats how I got mine off.cad600 wrote:Bend the retention washer out of the way and use an air impact gun.

Yeah, I don't know it was the first time I had ever done it and maybe I just got lucky but I hit the trigger and off it came. are you replacing the sprockets, if so you can try what huckleberry said and just hold the sprocket with some channel locks and then hit it with the impact.tampaFZR600 wrote:with it in neutral and the chain removed????
sweet ok thx fellas, just wanted to make sure b4 i go ruining engine partscad600 wrote:Just zap it with the impact gun. It will loosen even with it in neutral and the chain off. You could even do it by holding the sprocket with your hand if you want. Just wear gloves.
