    That really blows when that happens. You should be able to wiggle it out like duke said. Worst case just torch it out. Just watch what your doing.

    The easiest way is to just take the front sprocket off. If your out in the woods, a majority of the time you can put your foot between the swingarm and bottom side of chain, and push down. This will pull it out with some finesse, as long as it's in neutral.

    I used a pry bar through the chain & under the swinger. Push it down and it popped right out.

    yeah I used a peice of firework or a 4x4 put next to the rear axle & put the wood on the lowest part of the chain & hit the wood with a hammer, this pulls the chain down & unwraps the chain from the front spocket.
