Step by step links? Yes it is called a "service manual", get either HD or Clymers (or both). J&P catalog carries both. Not cheap by any means but the best investment for older iron you can have
And if you have never done it before (appears as if you haven't) , read the manual before you begin. Before you start take pictures and take pictures as you disassemble/remove stuff (it will be the little things that you forget and and the pics will help you remember). Tag things as you take them off, keep nuts bolts and washers with the parts they come off of (if you throw them all in a pile you are gonna screw yourself).

There are a few things that will get you if you don't pay attention like the left handed thread of the clutch hub nut and the transmission sprocket.The compensating sprocket(front sprocket in the primary) can be a pain without an impact.You will need a clutch hub puller.A dead blow hammer is nice also.Take your time,you will get it.

Panz4ever has given you some sound advice. I can only imagine that you are new to this or you wouldn't be asking for advice. You need a service manual. You need to read the manual to familiarize yourself with the scooter and the process of removing the engine before you jump in and make mistakes that will cost you big money to repair. Good luck with your project and take your time.
