Chain guides... how to remove oil pump chain?

Sorry for the stupid question... but, i can't figure out how to remove the oil pump chain. In the Tangalora's write up on the topic of doing chain guides she posts the following...

- Remove the oil pump chain, guide and sprocket (which is not keyed).- Note the oil pump crankshaft sproket has a key cut.- This oil pump crank sprocket keyway isn't used to hold it in place.- Compression/friction of the 270 foot pound crankshaft bolt holds it.- This oil pump sprocket keyway is there only to put it on the crankshaft.- Cinch timing chains tightly to prevent jumping a sprocket tooth.

I am looking at this and can't get it through my dumb skull. I took off the guide, but don't see how to remove the chain without removing the drivers side sprocket. Any hints on how to remove the chain and chain sprocket?
