Clutch pull still very hard...

I'll file that away for the future, thanks! But I'm draining the oil anyway...

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...

Ok, so I managed to remove all the screws that secure the clutch cover. They are were very tight, or corroded in place, or both - even with heat and my new impact driver, all the heads got a bit banged up, and the three big screws on top really didn't want to come - I ruined all three. One I had to basically destroy with my dremel and a small cutting wheel to get a proper big bit to bite without stripping...

So now... any tips for removing the cover? I don't see any convenient prying points, and battering it from various angles with a non-marring mallet while trying to pull it in the general "off" direction yields no movement. I imagine if I manage to remove it, the gasket will likely be destroyed in the process...

Pulling the clutch lever, if you've still got it hooked up will try to push the cover out :)

Well, there's an idea! I can have it hooked up again in about a minute...
