FT.. EASY TO DO....
Jack it up (letting the a-arms hang) Take the right front wheel off, drive out the steel pin that holds the half shaft to the front sprocket shaft. With that done, there should be sufficient room to pull the splined end off the shaft. (pull outwards on the half shaft, the CV joint will compress)
Loosen the front chain adjuster bolts, and turn the adjustment all the way to one end..(I cant remember which way, but I KNOW you have to turn it so that the shaft will be "high" in the frame so that the sprocket will clear the frame rails) Slide the sprocket off, clean everything up, and put the new one on. I would suggest the use of anti-seize on the splines. put everything back together and re-adjust all your drive chains. Its really not that difficult to do, best thing you can do is to first take the bike out into the front yard and wash it down REALLY well. Pay particular attention to the area you're gonna be working in. If its been mudded alot, after you wash it, spray all the bolts down with WD-40 before starting, it will make things go a little easier.
Good Luck.
