Or a press would do the trick also.

Check to see if it has been welded on first, maybe the welds ground off...

Heat.... Need heat... Polish the ends of the shaft to allow the sprocket easily move... Remove all bolts and snap rings.. While heating the hub rub a candle stub in the joint... The paraffin helps to lubricate the joint and break free the hold...
Keep the torch moving... Check to see if it budged a bit with a soft hammer...

Heat is the plan. It's not welded, snap rings and bolts removed. The was it a good idea.

I polished the side of the axle i needed to move the sprocket to, heated the hub portion, and used a scissor jack from my wife's car to "press" it in the right direction. Along with the pressure of the jack, a 4lb sledge did the trick and moved it into the right place. hopefully friday morning i can button it up and get it driving.

Was it removed first before jack-pressing it over???
If not I'd check to see if anything isn't bent for in which the jack was butted against.. Just saying...

Nothing bent, at least nothing worse than what was already there. I was worried about it so only moderate pressure. Just enough to give the sledge a boost. Once I got it moving, it moved fairly easy I the polished section.
