How would you get it off?
Discussion
Mate of mine is trying to change the chain & sprockets on his CB500. It's a pretty old bike but fairly new to him & I'm sure the front sprocket has never been changed in it's life!
He's got the nut off but cannot get the front sprocket to slide off the splines, he's tried various type of leverage giving it a wack on to try break the seal but it's not budging. He's tried heat but only has a normal blowtorch which I don't think can get enough heat into it.
The only 2 other options short of getting it into a garage who can do it for him is to buy a puller or to try & cut it off with a dremmel
Any suggestions before he goes mad?

Thanks for the advice guys, I've passed it on to him. He's passed the point of no return now & this things got to come off!
What started out as an attempt to save himself money by changing his own chain & sprockets is probably going to end in tears - he's already had to buy a chain breaker, blow torch, box of plasters & now a puller!
Would have been cheaper to drop in to the garage at this rate.
