How do I get this timing chain off?

I left it at this point because I'm not sure how to take it off.

Any pointers guys?

Yeah, both the top and bottom sprockets come off with the chain at the same time. You might have to gently pry around them until they start to work loose.

You need to pull the gear off the cam shaft. You will probably need a bearing puller for the job.

When you put a new one on you do it in reverse order...the chain has to be looped around the large timing gear before it goes onto the cam shaft.
