Michael . Remove the two grub screws from the taper bush . Then put one of the grub screws in the other threaded hole .. Which is the release hole then tighten this one up . next put a flat screw driver in the slot and give it a tap with a small hammer . The sprocket should then come off . Dale

Michael,

I would do the same as Dale said, but without the screwdriver. If you keep turning the grub screw the bush should start to move off the axle and you will be able to remove it.

If it doesn't budge or you feel that the you are turning the grub screw to hard, I gentle tap with a soft hammer on the sproket will probaly free things up, especially if the sprocket had been on for a long time.
