 The later sprockets have threaded holes to attach a puller - much easier.  I have had to use a 20' cheater pipe and dynamite on some of my early sprockets....

Make life on yourself easier, use some 400-grit sandpaper on the shaft, clean the crank, sprocket, etc., and put some anti-sieze compound on the shaft prior to re-assembly.

Also, use a non-hardening gasket sealant on the front cover.  There is considerale slop with the mounting bolts, so be careful in the tightening sequence.  The cover needs to 'float' on the shaft or else it will pull to one side and continue to leak.
