I'd hoped to get a look at the clutch today. I knew there was a good chance that I'd be dealing with some stuck screws on the engine cover, but I never got past step one of getting the kickstarter off. The bolt holding it on came off with no problem, but I think the splines are so gummed up on the inside that it's just jammed in there tight.
I'd spray it with WD40, worry it as much as I could, spray, worry, repeat. Eventually I got it about halfway off but then ran out of time. Maybe there's a trick to it, but if not, it'll just be more of the same until I can work it free.
This was as far as I could pull it out after 20 minutes of WD40 and wiggling it around on the splines.
