Question how the hell?

How the hell do you get the sprocket off the rear wheel on a bmx bike? that is the ONLY part of a BMX bike i have no clue about, and for the life of me, i cant get it off. maybe a diagram or a link would help.


P.S. anybody know a good trick to fixing up front brakes good enough to stop you?

and you can fix you brakes by tighten them, and loosening the spring with a lighter

Try tapping it with a screwdriver and hammer in order to turn the freewheel. Work it loose. I knew a guy that used to work on bikes with just a pair of vice grips and a hammer. Oh wait, the vice grips was the hammer too
