Question
ok i have a haro bmx
my rear sprocket is incredibly worn
i have tried to take it off  but it is really stuck on
i have tried liquid wrench and lots of ways it still wont come off  my rims are good ones and i don't have the money to buy a new one

Answer
You will need a Freewheel Removal Tool, a Chain Whop, and a wrench to turn the Removal Tool. The chain whip is to hold the sprocket while you turn the Freewheel Removal Tool counter-clockwise using the wrench. You may need to put a lot of pressure on the wrench while turning depending how stuck it is on there. If you have any further questions, please ask.
