I hadn't planned on doing much but decided that since I was there I should do something. I started by taking the battery out and draining the oil tank. There was next to nothing in the oil tank, so I'm sure the engine has filled up with oil. I kept working and drained the primary case oil and took off the air filter. By the time I finished, I had taken off the gas tank, the carb, the exhaust, the clutch lever, and the rear master cylinder and rear sprocket cover. The "updated" rear pulley nut retainer was in the midst of a failure. It wouldn't have lasted a whole lot longer.
I ordered a clutch spring tool from ebay today. I hope it's not a $42 piece of crap. I'm going to try to find a 1-7/8" socket at one of the local used tool places. I may also have to get an adapter to be able to use it on my 1/2" drive breaker bar. And find an old fork tube or something that will fit over the bar for extra leverage. Once I have all the tools, this should go pretty quickly.
