Can somebody help me with changing the front sprocket. I had a little problem with the rear sprocket but all went well. I just cant figure out the front. Can somebody help me.

Take it off, put the new one on.

Do you have specific questions? Make sure you use a torque wrench; make sure the locknut washer is installed correctly; make sure the sprocket fits your chain; do some cleaning while you're under the sprocket cover.

The best way is use a impact wrench, But if you dont have access to one you can do this.
leave the chain and everything on.
Next get the correct size socket for the nut on the front sprocket.
Get a breaker bar on the socket
Put the bike in first gear with rear tire on ground.
Have somebody sit on bike.
Break nut loose and loosen and you now have front sprocket loosened.
Replace chain and rear sprocket then put back together.
Make sure you torque everything to manufacters specs.
