am I likely to need a heat gun to get the rear sprocket off my x-pect to switch it out?

Not likely. The entire rear wheel assembly falls apart in your hands once you loosen everything.

It’s a pita to get back on actually.

The reason I asked is because I think I saw someone of Youtube mention their X-pect came with the rear sprocket lock tited to hell and back.

No. It is probably assembled with a drop of red Loctite, but it breaks loose with a bit of effort. Reassemble with blue Loctite.
