The only thing that will move this sprocket is heat.

you know u should use the hardened 'impact' style sockets on a rattle gun
ordinary ones can split or splinter...and act like shrapnel

not nice

yep - used that style. It rounded off !!

The only real problem with using heat is making sure its done in short, sharp goes - otherwise you run the risk of melting the output shaft oil-seal clean out of the cases !! :lol:

The guys at the shop told me it was the first time they had to use heat 'twice' to get that F#$#@#@@#n sprocket off !!! It was a right prick.....

hopefully Stereo's won't be as bad...
