Don't use a ratchet to loosen very tight fixing.Get a breaker bar.
Ratchets are not that strong and are likely
to slip round and then you smack your hand /skin ya knuckles

I dont think the nuts are too tight, the problem is/was the sprocket carrier popping out as soon as I applied any force

Argos will sell you an angle grinder for £18. Its a tool every man should own.

Or a plasma cutter will do the job should you feel spendy.

Sod all that expense---- if you are not going to refit the chain after you take it off so undo the nut on the front sprocket and cut the chain with a hacksaw

why not remove the sprocket carrier and secure it in a vice then?
