At this point I was feeling pretty confident of my mechanics skills so I decided to tackle something more significant: the Clutch. With the handy dandy tool the guy at the scooter store let me borrow this was a snap. 
The difficult part was removing the snap ring from inside the back lip of the clutch to expose the clutch plates and the springs. Using a vice to compress the gears is the easiest way. Then remove all the clutch plates and replace with the new ones, in the same order: cork plate, gear, cork plate, gear...springs. There should be three cork plates and two all metal gear plates. Mine is a standard 6 spring clutch (behind each of those round looking buttons is a spring). Then using the vice again to compress the springs you can replace the snap ring and shes ready to go!
