Basically it's a clutch hub, used to align the teeth on the fiction plates.
Also can be used to compress the springs for easy assembly and disassembly.
You'll also need something to lock the flywheel with, I just use a bent
piece of metal with a hole drilled in it so that can be attached to one of
the studs used to mount the trans and fits in between the teeth of the
starter ring.
New friction plates will be installed with the "lip" out, or facing the
trans.

Just nuts and bolts...

The only factory tools I recall needing was the clutch alignment tool so
that everything's lined up when you tighten up the flywheel. If you use
this,the transmission goes right on no problem. Tom

it is do-able by anyone but does require some fiddling even with the
factory

tools to get the sucker aligned right without wrecking the intermediate
plate.

where you at? anyone nearby willing to show Jason how?

My bike is sound except I believe the clutch has gone out - should I
tackle this project myself or take it in and have it done? I am a shad
tree mechanic at best. What level of expertise is required? I have been
quoted $700 is that reasonable?
