You're better off leaning the bike right over on something soft, you can then remove the clutch cover without draining the oil. I've replaced s few clutches this way.
Pulling the clutch lever, if you've still got it hooked up will try to push the cover out
Quite stuck then!Try tying the clutch lever in against the bars and then tapping the cover gently to see if it'll release from the gasket.
Make sure you've removed all the screws and not left one in. It's the sort of muppetry that I get up to on occasion.
Just drained the oil - what a messy job! As soon as I loosened the filter cover, oil begins to drain out where the cover joins the engine and runs all down the cover, through the fins... there must be an easier way...
If the cable is non genuine and has been stood for a while it is very possible there is corrosion between inner and outer
