Its simply held on by a big clip that keeps it from walking off. I can't think of the name of the clip at the moment. It uses a tool that looks like needle nose pliers that you stick in and when you squeeze, the jaws spread apart and open the clip.

Yup, what he said. I think its called a Circlip. The tool is loosly called snap ring pliers. You can get em pretty cheap at the auto parts store, give em a try, they usually work pretty good.

now that i looked at it some dum trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro made lil welds around it so it wouldnt slide off :twisted: :twisted: is there any way to break these welds. And i no where to get the circle clip, so ill order that but i need to figure out hoe to get it off with these welds.

a punch and a hammer will break the beads, that is why it was just tacked and not a big bead. and thank you! its called the damn sproket wouldnt go on, noone knew why, and a lost circlip, along with a lack of time (hours to get it done before you leave on vacation) i am not a big fan of welding but i didnt care anymore as there were so many hours into it it wasnt even funny.
