The easiest way for me is to loosen the bell nut first. (clutch still on the scoot) Them remove the clutch, and stand on the bell w/ both feet. You can remove the nut, and press down w/ one palm, and it comes right up w/ no suprises. Unless you are working on the second six pack... Then you get a split lip to remember it by. (Not that it ever happened to me!)
