Easiest way...
Use an AIR gun !!!!
Used one on my XT500 & the clutch centre & crank nut on my XBR.....

An air gun is the way to go, take it to your local car garage and get them to undo it for you.

If you are replacing the sprocket make sure you get the right one as the splines are different for some 400's.
