What am I missing here? It sounds like you USUALLY remove the sprocket carrier to change a sprocket! Is that right?

The most common reason a sprocket carrier won't release is becasue the sprocket is still bolted to it! This prevents the carrier opening at the 'split'. Whenever you remove a carrier, make sure you have at least LOOSENED the sprocket bolts and, ideally, removed them!

The next option is that you have rust or dents around trhe area on which the sprocket carrier sits. Clean this area with emery cloth.
