-Remove the derby cover and the clutch ramp assembly to gain access to the clutch basket mounting nut. \\
+Then pull the clutch cable down thru the trees and lay it out in front of the bike. \\
+Use a 1/2" open end wrench to loosen the cable connector at the primary cover and then you can most likely twist the cable to loosen the threads. \\
+This method will help keep the cable straight so as to not cross thread it making it more safe for re-installing the cable later. \\
+Be careful not to damage the O-ring on the part of the cable that comes out of the cover. \\
+Inspect the O-ring and replace it if needed. \\

+===== Loosen the primary chain adjuster =====
+Loosening the primary chain adjuster takes the pressure off the primary chain from the cover. \\
+Hold the stud with a 1/4" Allen wrench and use a 7/8" open end wrench to loosen the tightening nut. \\
+Once the nut is loose, unscrew the stud until it bottoms out to loosen the chain adjuster. \
+This is easier done before removing the cover since the engine holds the assembly in place. \\
+If you don't loosen this before re-installing the cover, it will be more difficult to install the cover later. \\

+===== Loosen and remove the primary cover =====
+Loosen the screws will most likely result in an oil leak. So, first, put an oil drain bucket or catch pan under the engine. \\
+Loosen the primary cover screws but don't completely remove them to allow oil to drain into a bucket or catch pan. \\
-Loosen the primary cover screws to allow oil to drain in a bucket / catch pan. \\
+The primary cover has (14) 1/4" and (2) 5/16" Allen head screws of various lengths. \\
-Some of the screws are different lengths and need to be placed back in their respective places. \\
+They will need to be replaced back in the same holes from which they were removed. \\
-You can use a piece of cardboard with a sketch drawn of the cover as to where the bolts go. \\
+So, their proper location will need to be marked upon removal. You can make a drawing of the primary cover on a piece of cardboard. \\
+Then put them into the cardboard in the proper orientation as removed from the cover. \\
 You can punch the holes with a screwdriver, insert the screws for holding and it makes reassembly less of a headache. \\
