Re: front sprocket..
As far as I can remember - they are just normal right-hand threads.
Try squirting a load of WD40 in there and leaving it to soak in over night.
It can also help if the rear wheel is spinning up as you try loosening it, to get someone else to sit on the bike and hold the rear brake on.
Hope you get it sorted!!

An extension on your wrench will get it off quicksmart.
