Answer
Thomas, You will need tools like an impact driver with long phillips head bit, gasket scraper, clutch cover gasket, kickstarter seal, clutch plate kit and springs, wrenches to remove various parts and probably an air wrench to get the special 16mm 4 prong lock nut loosened from the clutch shaft. The clutch hub spins once you remove the springs and lacking a holding tool, an air wrench works best to spin the nut off the shaft... and back on again.

Obviously I can't send a photo through this site. Contact me at my website www.vintagehonda.com and I can scan a page from the repair manual if you wish to proceed.
