As slob says, there's no need to drain the clutch hydraulics and, as far as the "special tool" is concerned, it's just a cheap and cheerful bolt and plate affair. Laser tools do a version for only £15 https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/lase...-cover-puller/

You'll also need some Threebond sealant

NB there is a crankcase screw beneath the sprocket cover that is often hidden by accumulated chain lube. Make sure you remove it before using the puller, otherwise you will crack your crankcase.

This YouTube video (6:45 - 13:00) shows what's involved in removing and reapplying the Threebond. It's important to ensure you've removed all of the old sealant before applying the new stuff if you want to avoid leaks.

By the way, here's a picture of my crankcase taken when I changed the flywheel. The arrow shows where the starter motor engages with the intermediate gear. I think there are just three screws holding the starter to the crankcase.

Oh, and before you say anything, that picture is before the Threebond was cleaned off!
