Disconnect the clutch cable
Remove the dome nut on the cover and undo and remove the nuts from the pull rod and the tubular spacer from behind the nuts.
Remove the clutch cover to expose the clutch assembly. the pull rod will stay in place.
You can then possibly free the plates through the slots using a wide bladed screwdrive but it will be much better to remove the plates for inspection.
You will need a clutch compressor to do this. It is just a horseshoe shaped tool made of flat bar with a hole to fit over the pull rod so you can use one of the 5mm nuts to compress the clutch, remove the large circlip and the plates will come out as a group.
It is when you remove the tool that you should be carefull not to loose the ball bearings from the other end of the pull rod.
Phew!
