Walk in the park,
Need a HD spring compression tool,
Your going to thread off the center acme adjuster rod with lock bolt, thread in the rod that comes with the tool, then us it to compress the clutch flat plate spring so you can remove the outer C clip.
Huge note, and at 3;00 in below video, the spring plate rivets are falling out in his hand, and should have replaced the spring plate at that point.
As for if just replacing the spring plate if you have no damage to the basket of plates, pretty much straight forward. Hence take the time to pull all the plates, and make sure that there is no loose rivet damage to the clutch basket or parts.
If you are going to go with a extra disc clutch, then read the directions so you install it correctly, including the inner replacement rings as well.
As for adjusting the clutch once you have the clutch parts reinstalled,
Note, now is a good time to check your primary chain adjuster.
As for primary cover, use a new gasket, and make sure to torque the bolts correctly and in the correct order.
