[turboXE85]

You need to use some kind of puller to get it off. They make a special one for it but I have used a steering wheel puller before. You may be able to rent one for free from autozone

buy a bunch of different sized/threaded bolts that are long enough when using the puller. you'll have to use 3 at the minimum to thread into the sprocket and then pulll it out with the puller.

I drilled three holes in a piece of 3/8 flat stock to match up with the holes on the sprocket. Then I put a long bolt down the center that bottoms out on the crank. Then put the three bolts through the flat stock and into the sprocket. Tighten the three bolts evenly until the sprocket comes off.
