Front sprocket replacement tips?

Jeff,

Removing the front sprocket is a bit problematic.  I found it virtually 
impossible to loosen the nut without the use of a air wrench.  Using the 
rear brake with the chain still attached will not keep the wheel from 
rotating when you apply sufficient torque to break it loose.  On my first 
replacement I tried all kinds of things and finally was only succesful when 
I found a pneumatic wrench.

I have an air compressor and air wrench which will do the trick if you want 
to bring it to my garage.

Cheers
