hi all.
i scoured the internet and found this great great post here that ALMOST talks about what i'm trying to crack open: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/sprockets-i-ended-up-b...
i am trying to get the worn rear sprocket off my beast that has these same wheels.
it looked like some of you guys have some knowledge about these, and i just got this thing so i've got lots of catch up to do.
how the bloody hades do i get that rear sprocket off?
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
btw, i've got the rear wheel off, i just can't break into that dang sprocket housing.
Post a picture of the sprocket in question and I'll give it my best shot

Is this what we're looking at?

I've worked on more old Hondas than I can count, and I don't remember anything weird about the late CMs. It's possible, though unlikely, that the nuts are...not staked, exactly, but held in place with a tab that you need to knock out of the way before you can get a socket on them to turn them. But, if you can get a socket on the nut and they're not moving, I think they're just stuck on. Apply a penetrant and leverage, and that should get you where you need to go.

The nuts #18 thread on to the pins #16 in the cush drive. Some times the pins spin. When this happens high speed and torque impacting is you freind. Grab the 1/2 drive impact gun turn the regulator up for max presure and give it a spin. You can try and hold the pins with vise grips but there's not normaly alot of room.
