Front sprocket replacement tips?

[blackgpz at rochester.rr.com]

Some things don't make sense to me. Using an impact tool on my 
transmission's output shaft is one of them. A towel wrapped handle of a 
yard implement in the spokes above the swingarm, trans in neutral and a 
long 1/2" drive breaker bar works well. Put the  handle in the spokes 
below the swingarm to torque the c/s sprocket nut.
