i can't get the thing inside my sprocket to move!! i even tapped it fairly hard with a mallet, it doesn't want to break loose. any suggestions appreciated....

wd40 if that dont work you have to ride for a little bit to get it to loosen up then try again

there is also a bolt on the bottom og the swing arm just below the other to u have to loosen it also. if it is the stock carrier use a flat head screw driver and put it between the sprocket into the notch. put ur quad in neutral and roll it it will tighten or loosen the chain depends on which way u roll it.
