Pulling the clutch isn't a big deal - I just did it yesterday so I could remove the water pump driven gear and chain. You will need a 30mm socket - a pnuematic impact drive was plenty helpful too. It saves having to have the special tool or figuring out how to stop the inner and out baskets from turning.
If you have those it's pretty simple - just follow the shop manual

Make one, all you need is your old clutch and friction plates. bolt them together after drilling 4- 1/4" holes in them at 90 degree separation. Then just place a block of wood through the rear wheel and let it rotate against the swing arm, now you can torque the clutch hub just fine.

Oh and I use 2 of each, I put the steel plates to the outside and the friction plates sandwiched between them.

Make sure you put them into the hub before you tighten them up.

Do not drill them while they are in the bike. unless you don't mind metal chips floating around in there

sorry, i've been bitten by too many mosquitoes tonight and am getting delirious. what old clutch and friction plates are you referring to? do you mean after i've pulled the clutch that i should drill the 1/4" holes and bolt them together so they stay lined up while re-installing them and torquing bolt?

Only if your replacing those drive and driven plates........ It works to lock the clutch hub to the basket..... and leave you access to the hub nut. But so does the right tool, home made from simple scrap.
If you have some old clutch plats,,, your golden.

i get it. i suppose i'll have to make something because i don't have old clutch plates for this bike. i've got a scrap clutch from another bike, but i see you need the outer notches and inner to be the right shape and size. or maybe i'll inadvertently damage the clutch plates. and then i'll have the right shaped scrap!

nice tool! i think i can make something vaguely correctly shaped, but i'll have to figure out how not to have it end up gouging the clutch center and outer. or there is the impact wrench...

Sounds like you have a damn good reason to buy some pneumatic equipment!
