HL tiger sprockets
 
Has anyone tried stripping one down. Would like to see how it's constructed before I try anything.

Thanks,
Don

Please clarify "stripping one down".

disassembly, separating the two halves.

The idlers pop apart with a screw driver, be careful and work your way around.

The drive sprockets are attached with a screw, the center hub will pop out again with the help of a screwdriver.

Check out that link, at the bottom of the page there are some pictures that should help, good luck!!

I like to use a small angled pick to pop out the center hub as the screwdriver will tend to mar the sprocket. The stock plastic drive sprocket is glued together pretty good, so I think it will be very difficult to separate it into two halves.

If you plan to repaint the drive sprockets, then dipping them in a can of paint stripper for an hour or two might loosen up the glue that holds them together.
