you take the big cover off then there are 3 rings held onto the front of the clutch by 6 e-clips...make sure that you dont drop an e-clip into the motor and once you pull the rings off just stack them how they were so u dont put them on wrong,,,just take all 3 off at one time then put on level surface and then go to work on the springs,,,i personally went out and bought some picks and they were absuletly worthless to me...u can use needle nose plyers to get them on and off...if u have a pair of those locking plyers in a needle nose style you might try using those so you dont have to hold the thing while ur trying to pull on it...i had a pair and didnt think to use it till i was done with it all
