Anyone know if I can remove a rear standard sprocket and replace it with a rear skip tooth sprocket? I have the front skip tooth but the rear skip tooth sprocket is on a junk wheel! Any advise guys?

If your rear newer style sprocket has an even number of teeth, just grind every other one off... But only if it has an even number... Otherwise your donor hub/sprocket from your junk wheel have to be the same brand as your usable hub/wheel...
Probably a musselman, I think you can swap sprockets. Didn't Uncle Stretch just go through this a while ago???

If you read Uncle Stretches post you will find the answer you seek 
I think there is a threaded lockring that holds the sprocket on.

I posted a link to Uncs threadin the same reply as the parts diagram.
a quick warning any of the thread on skip cogs are normally a bear to get off. start by soaking the whole thing in something like chem tool or gas to try and get all the crud out and then have at that lock ring
