Crankshaft sprocket retention nut... how to remove?

[davomoto]

lefty loosey, righty tighty on this one. note how the dished washer is installed when taking it off, many get installed incorrectly.
Good luck

that beveled washer, sorry to hijack. just put mine on, is it correct that the umm ...ok lets call that washer an "ice cream cone". does the small end of the "cone" face the nut and the large face the sprocket? thats the way it came apart and some monkey was in here before. double checking

Yes, that's the correct way.

I would like to see pics of both ends of the oil filter. .........lm

Can someone tell me what needs to be done to get this nut off the end of the crankshaft? Is it left-handed thread? Do I need to hold the crank still? A special tool? More persuasion?

How difficult is it to get the shaft and chain situated back together after you remove the oil filter cover? When I took it off it seemed like everything just fell apart into the bottom of the case and I wasn't sure what went where and how it all went back together.
