OUCH!
If you're saying that the Surgeons broke the "Key" that fits in the semi-circular
slot cut into the Crankshaft for it,leaving a portion in the slot?
Aerokroil and a "Nail Tap" with a light hammer blows to try and drive the remains
out.BE VERY CAREFUL...You're skirting with buying a new Crankshaft if your
fingers slip!

There is a BOLT that holds the HUB onto the Crankshaft,
you have to first remove the bolt (Well,First you have to lock the Flywheel
with the proper tool)
I would follow MB's directions on removal of the HUB[Factory Service Manual].
The Sprocket can be pulled off with a gear puller.

All this assumes the Surgeons haven't Bunged Up both the Hub and Sprocket.
