    • Remove the six screws holding the primary drive cover on.

    • You can either drain the oil first, or just put a dish underneath to catch the oil spillage.

    • Lift the cover away. Note that the cables to the alternator will still be attached, so make sure the cover is supported and not pulling on the cables.

    • Unscrew the clutch springs with a piece of flat metal.

    • Lift off the clutch cover and withdraw the clutch operating rod and clutch plates.

    • Engage a gear and undo the clutch retaining nut. This is likely to be tight; it will undo more easily if you "shock" it loose with light hammer taps onto a socket driver.

    • If you are lucky, the clutch will be loose on the shaft. If it is stuck fast, you may need to use the special puller.
