Answer

to remove the snap rin Hi Dave:
I can only send one photo in this format... if you email me at dgan@stolenandrecovered.com, I can enclose a number of them for you to see.  You will however, need a special spring-lock plate (you called it a sprocket) compressor to do the job.  I am enclosing that photo here

Let me know if after you understand and see this tool  you still need more instruction

Thanks
Doug
