I would like to hang this chain ring on the wall, how can I get the crank off and not damage anything?

I don't think so. The crank is swage fit to the ring, so you'll have to cut of the swaged part...and it won't go back together.

Great plan to keep it intact. There are only a limited supply of those old Schwinn cranks made with the A S & C O cut out.

It would make a really cool doorknob.

A pic of the backside would help.

Maybe you could heat the ring and hit the crank hole with a CO2 fire extinguisher?
Else drill out the back side.

I would soak it overnight in oxalic, clean it up, polish it with NevrDull. It will look awesome.
