If the sprocket doesn't come off, the simplest solution is to just cut it off. This is where the new crank sprocket and rear washer come into play. I don't waste time trying to heat it up etc. Striking it with a metal hammer is not a good idea either as the sprocket's metal is very soft and the teeth on the sprocket will become flat without much effort. With the gear at top dead center, cut through the gear over the key way with a 4" air cut-off wheel. Just slice across it being careful to not nick the crank or cut into the aluminum oil pump assembly behind it (too badly at least). Once a sufficient slot is cut, hammer a chisel into the slot. The sprocket will eventually crack over the keyway and then it will easily slide off.
