Well... say what you will... but sprockets and chains wear out too...
Not to mention all the maintenance a chain requires... which is more than squirting a little oil on the surface of chain...
But hey go for it... this is just my opinion... with it and about $ .95 you can get a cup of coffee...

yeah, it's a 1-7/8 nut with lefty threads as stated. And a good impact wrench is the easiest way to take it off and it does come off rather slow, I just changed my belt sprocket for more teeth last month. I've heard others that took it off using a 10ft peice of pipe as a breaker bar, and still were barely able to get the nut off, so impact wrench if you can get your hands on one.
