You're using a lockring to keep the cog on the carrier I presume?
My method is as follows,
Wheel must have a well inflated tyre fitted.
Find a chainwhip with a long enough chain that it'll wrap right around and over itself.
Attach chainwhip and position at 9 o clock. Spin wheel around so the cog and whip are on the far side. Hold chainwhip in right hand and hold wheel at about 2 o clock in left hand. Lift wheel and whip together and then slam them back down into the ground. Repeat if neccesary.
I've never not been able to remove a cog using this technique.

plus gas is a good penetrating fluid use this and it might be easier to remove. Next time use anti seize on the threads it should mean this problem does not occur.

Not meaning to sound rude but you are trying to undo it the correct way right??
I have only ever come across one that was really tight and wouldn't undo normally. If you loosen the locking so that there is a 1mm gap between the sprocket and locking. Then wrap up the chain whip to that it sits at 9o clock then give a tap with a dead blow hammer or a hide hammer. It's the shock that will loosen off the sprocket. Sometimes shere force will not do the job.
Failing the above, Coke (the drink) works as a penattrive lubricant. Pour a bit on the mating surface and leave for half hour to an hour. In that time it should work its way in enough to make it easier.
Hope this helps. -

Have the tyre inflated to about 40 psi, hold the wheel in a door way so the wheel touches the wall and floor and push down on the chain whip. Doing this will grip the wheel firmly. It won't move as much than if you were to just hold it. Using a hammer to shock it, as mention above, would be a good move.
Also if you have a vice, two pieces of wood to grip the sprocket and give it a big pull in the right direction.

No worries. Hope you get it off.

I find hitting the whip with a hammer to be very er...hit or miss. Really though, it's too difficult to get a direct hit on it, my technique makes it much easier to direct the forces where you really want em.

All,
I've just found this post which might help me get my sprocket carrier off too.
Can anyone advise if the carrier has a reverse thread or does it screw off in the anti-clockwise position?
Thanks.

Standard thread, i.e. pedaling it tightens it, back pedaling loosens it
Loosen the lock ring a bit then go do some skids.
So I want to remove a miche sprocket carrier off my hub. I've tried using a chain whip and sprocket but despite all effort pulling and pushing it doesn't seem to be moving.
What do I do next ? Is there any other way to remove it without ruining threads?
Have been spraying with wd40/gt85 but it doesn't seem to be helping.
