As far as locking the clutch goes in order to prevent rotation when removing nut, you don't need a special tool. Use the Haynes method:
1) After pulling lifter plate and springs, put two springs and the 2 long bolts back with some washers to take place of pressure plate. Tighten the bolts down, this will lock the clutch mechanisim together
2) put the bike in first gear (not mentioned in Haynes)
3) Remove the alternator inspection nut and put a 12mm socket and breaker bar on the exposed nut. This can be used to counter the rotation of engine when removing the clutch lock nut.
Worked like a charm for me.
THANKS TONS, SHAWZY!!! Worked like a very lucky charm for me also!!!
