Using an impact driver to remove all of the case screws carefully, I then proceeded to try and remove the advancer per the instructions of the workshop manual. The 13mm bolt would NOT budge at all. After a little soak in PB Blaster, I brought out the breaker bar and got it off without any problems, then proceeded to remove the kickstart lever.
At this point, the only thing holding the cover on was the gasket and without there being any pry points, it was kind of hard to remove. I started by using a thin blade to try and get through some of the gasket material. Then I resorted to tapping on a piece of wood against the case, with a mallet. This broke the seal and after some gentle coercion, I was able to remove the cover.
With the cover removed, the clutch plate, hub, springs and friction plates needed to be removed. This simply involved removing 4 bolts and 2 circlips.
The sprocket and hub came off without incident. I am now that much closer to splitting the case.
