Sure. You just loosen that 17mm (?) bolt that holds them on...loosen. Leave it on so you don't have to worry about the sprocket hitting the ground. The put the teeth of a 3 prong gear puller behind the sprocket and crank down on the bolt that lines up with the end of the crankshaft. You'll hear a pop...and the sprocket is free.

Looks like this:
