Any tips to get it off? it's rusted on there pretty bad.

tap it lightly with a hammer on each side. and give a good pull or wigle. put a small peice of plywood on the a/c or radatior so you dont smack it

I'll give it a shot. I tried to tap it with a 2x4 and a hammer, was kinda concerned about tapping it metal on metal.

Couldn't get my radiator off, the ATF hoses are stuck on there and i don't have a hose pick, so i just put a piece of cardboard there.

Would be nice to have the extra space though.

its fine to tap lightly. if you worried you can use a rub hammer and really smack it

2 hours later, lots of PB blaster, and lots of wrestling with that thing it finally came off.

hope the sprocket will come off a little easier after soaking in PB blaster over night...
