This topic has been covered too many times. Either take the appropriate size flat head screwdriver X(2), place them behind and on each end of the crank sprocket, and using a hammer, drive the screwdrivers down intermittently until the sprock starts moving and eventually come off. Or you can always drill and tap and then use a puller to try and extract it. Or lastly, you can cut it and just replace it with a new one. I do not recommend heating up the sprocket with a torch, but you're free to try it.
Good Luck,
