I've never had  a problem giving them a thump along one edge with a 
rubber/copper mallet. The dowels are on the outside edge so thump it on 
the inside.

Yup.

Chains usually as they're dirt cheap. Sprockets don't break, chains do. 
Still takes a serious amount of abuse to snap a chain. Think of your 
push bike when you were a kid - how often did you ge that chain muddy 
and did it ever snap without outside intervention (eg pebbles, or a 
"friend" with a stick!)
