How do i get that dang thing off!!! I have a 300 ex and i cant get the bolts to loosen up.

 

Ummm... Ok.. Spray WD-40.. and use correct tool, and I use a pipe to get more leverage on the bolts.. Good Luck... Its not too hard !!

WD40 does an alright job, but usually lubes up the head of the bolt so that it slips in the socket (if your really reafing on it). Try to find penetrating oil (that's very thin and will ooze down the treads of the bolt down into the sprocket).

I've always had VERY good luck with Marvel's Mystery Oil (which can be found at any Automotive store) you can put it on nuts, bolts, in your oil, or in your gas!

I've used it for years and never had a problem, buy a small can and fill a used spray butter container up with it, viola!

The above post mentioned using the correct tools, VERY important! I use a Metrinch set when working on my bikes (universal between English / Standard, Metric, and stripped nuts and bolts)

Or if all else fails, take an impact wrench to it!! (while using the correct size socket of course)
