It's not too difficult. From the SPROCKET SIDE, remove the cap. There is a pin that goes through the shaft. I don't remember if you have to punch that out or not, but I DON'T think you do. Next, on THE KICKSTAND side remove the small diameter steel ring that goes around the workings. Don't break this as they are difficult to replace. From the SPROCKET SIDE use a short piece of broom handle or the like as a punch and smack the thing out with a hammer. You can do this with the chain guard and sprocket in place, just work through one of the openings in the sprocket. Once you do this, you'll be surprised how easy this task is.
In this picture you can see the ring I referred to. Don't break it! Also, you might want to inspect the little pin you see in this picture. Mine broke, and what you see is the end of a hardened masonary "cut nail"
In this picture you can see the pin I referred to in my first post. I pretty sure you don't have to remove it at this time...almost positive. Get a small block of wood or cut off broom handle and a hammer....and SMACK IT!!
Hope this helps!

Beautiful bike. Columbia is my favorite manufacturer of bikes, fallowed by Schwinn. Good luck with your project.

Oh man, I had to switch out one of these. I did it, but it is ugly, with some of the outer tubing all drilled up with holes.
