    I don't know the exact torque off hand but it is high, somewhere over 100. No, you don't have to remove to replace the sprocket, just the bolts that actually go through the sprocket.

    Edit, sorry I was working in pounds, not NM.

    No

    You shouldn’t have to touch that big nut until the rear axle has to come off
