Posted by richard fu as for using the drill, my neighbor told me to use a piece of 5/8" garden (2" - 3" in lenght) and shove it into the spindle end. then take a socket that would fit snug inside of the hose. with that hook up, you can then connect the drill and socket. if it looses, use a hose clamp to tighen things down. hope this helps.

the sprocket does come off if you use a allen wrench. however, i found that i also needed to remove the 4" gear as it is almost impossible to remove the sprocket without removing the gear.
