All nine clutch cover screws were frozen, as expected. The impact driver got 7 and I had to re-slot the other 2 with the Dremel. Not too bad, considering how long the bike had been sitting.
Once I got the screws out, I was still having a lot of trouble prying off the cover. Figured the gasket had fused it shut. I yanked and hammered screwdrivers into the gaps for about 15 minutes until I finally realized that I'd neglected to take out one of the bottom screws (another lesson learned).
After that, the cover popped right off, but it wasn't very pretty on the inside. I cleaned out the old oil sludge but I left dismantling for another day.
