Hi tchild,
my name is Dennis Gladx and I can assist you with the problem of getting the sprocket off of the crankshaft of your chainsaw.
To remove the centrifugal clutch and sprocket you unscrew it from the
crankshaft and it has a left hand thread. Also a little trick to remove anything from a
crankshaft that could turn while you want to unscrew the item, Remove the spark
plug and insert some rope into the cylinder for the piston to squeeze against
and you will jam the piston without damage.
Glad to be of assistance Please rate this solution because I can learn from your rating. Thank you
SOURCE: Chain does n't rotate
Is the chain brake "on"?, can you pull the chain around the bar?
Is the drive sprocket teeth worn all the way through.
Does the engine high rev or is it loaded when you throtle up?
the threads are left hand.i my self use a small butterfly air rachet to remove the nut. it spins fast enough to remove the nut.

With chainsaws once you refit teh chain to the sprocket (it runs one way only) and the guides are sitting in the groove in the bar. The bar needs to be pushed so there is very little flex in the chain and then the nuts that hold the bar on should be tightened. If the chain is loose it will not get driven properly and it will jump off the bar. Also if oil is not lubricating the chain it will heat up quickly, stretch and jump off the bar. If in doubt - take it to your local chainsaw mechanic for checking and a demonstration.
