I Have removed the nut that is on the sprocket. I’ve seen some videos, and after the nut is taken off the sprocket just slides off. Mine does not slide off …here’s a picture so you can understand what I’m dealing with..

I had this issue and I tapped it with a hammer and it worked for me, try hitting it with a little rotation against the normal direction of travel as it might be set in a slight grove from use

Great news everyone I got the sprocket off I used a pulley puller to get it off and I got the new sprocket on and things are on the up and up thank you for everybody responding and giving me some good ideas thank you… I had to write this because I know everyone probably couldn’t sleep at night knowing that I couldn’t get my sprocket off so.. I’m grateful that now everyone can sleep well …have a good one..!
