Contrary to popular believe not everyone has the tool or is 
confortable using a torch beneith thier car.  Like myself.  I have a 
torch but I'd rather not use it if I don't have to.  This is the 
point of my alternate way of removing the sprocket.  Its fast and 
easy.

You CANNOT brake the sprocket using the method I mentioned.  Its 
silly that you would even consider that!  Have you ever done this 
job?
