well.. u must have a 400ex.. cause i have a 250x & theirs only 2 bolts not 4.. lol.. so, ya loosen them bolts & then take a screwdriver, stick it in the slot & turn it whatever way makes it loose.. thats what i do! :D

[exrider123]

[honda_250x_87]

welp, ya see... right by the rear sprocket, next to it.. i dunno if u have slots, but i do.. i just stick a screwdriver in there & turn up or down..

In between the sproket and the swing arm there are three slots, kind of U shaped. If I find a pic i'll post it.

You can see two of the slots in this pic, to the right of the sproket hub...

heres another one

take the front sprocket off. it only 2 bolts on the case saver and 2 on the sprocket. 8mm on the case saver and 10mm on the sprocket i think. then turn the retainer just a little bit and it will come off then the sprocket will come off

make sure you losten the back 4 screws enough, or you'll break the screw driver :D i've never seen that happen to you, did you break a tooth, too?
