i noticed today when i was putting on my case saver there's a rubber piece on the inside of the front sprocket. anyone know what this is for?

Keeps rocks and stuff from getting lodged behind the sprocket and provides a little extra protection for the shaft seal that is there. Most times it traps smaller chucks behind there tearing that rubber piece up and tearing up the seal.

im replacing my front sprocket and puttin on a casesaver when i get home, do you need to replace it or is there somehow to get it out to clean it out??

That rubber piece is only on the OEM sprocket.

No you won't but IMO the dirt blocking abilities of that rubber part on the stock sprocket is hampered by it's ability to trap dirt/ rocks behind it that then tears up the shaft seal.... so I'd rather not have the rubber piece. IMO.
