Best Way to Change the Front Sprocket?

That being the case:
What's the best way to loosen the front nut?
I still have the huge socket that fits it which I bought last time.
I do NOT have the magic tool to hold the sprocket while I turn the nut... but, I still changed it before without that tool.
Can I crank the nut against the chain while holding the rear brake?

yes you can, the best way of course is with the tool but when in a jam use a impact gun hold the back brake down and impact it off.
Don't have an impact gun, but I do have a breaker bar and a hammer....:laugh:

Question, would a pickle fork (with some slight modification) accomplish the same thing?...
Hmmm, I wonder but I think this would work since the fork is also skewed (thicker wedge design back to the base).
NOTE to thyself: Modify one of my old forks...

Or you could get someone to sit on the bike,put it in gear,and apply both brakes.
Or better yet, I sit on the bike and get somebody else to horse that big nut loose.:laugh:
