i changed my sprockets in my tiny shed, just toko the wheel off, (simple)
screww the chain adjuster in all the way, so the tire can move back and forth freely. once the tire is off, take the screws that hold the sprocket on off, put new one on,(use some lock tight) then, for the hardest part, put the wheel back on,(usually helps to have someone with you) once you put the axle back on, tighen the chain, use the little lines on the swing arm to help line the tire upthen tightn the **** up, then go out and try the bitch out!!!
realy easy job, should only take about 20-30 minutes.

the brakes mihgt close up, but just use a flat head to push the brake pads apart, thats where the second person comes in.

You might need to add some links to your chain, Bigger sprocket=Bigger Chain.
Remember your rear brakes will need to be pumped 4 or 5 times before they will have preasure.
