removing drive sprocket on husky 353

[mbb]

how do I remove the drive sprocket from Husky 353? Manual has no info on this, but says the needle bearings need to be greased weekly. Appears that it may be threaded onto the shaft. Is there a recommended way to hold the crank (ie wedge something in the fins or such) and use a spanner across clutch?

There is a hole at the end of the crank to grease your bearing.To remove the clutch,best to use the special tool to not damage the clutch.To stop the engine from turning,use a cord in the spark plug hole.Be sure the exhaust port is closed fully,the cord end could go in the exhaust port.
