    Hey guys Im new to bikes and I need help:

    I'm in the process of replacing my clutch discs but the center nut (27mm) is just not budging...

    Is it a reverse pattern or regular?! (lefty lossy or righty lossy) I dont believe that the clutch has been replaced before!

    Thanx

    Also, I need to replace my Rear Tire, but I have a disc brake on the right side and what seems to be a drum on the left, or is that just the rest of the drive shaft! Does anyone know the process???

    There is a locking tab on the clutch basket nut, it is right hand threaded. If you are just replacing the friction disc you don't need to remove the basket. Just remove the outer plate (the one with 6 bolts and springs underneath). The clutch discs will come right out.
    The thing on the left is the rear gear drive housing, no brakes in there. Taking the rear wheel is easy.
    1 put bike on center stand
    2 remove rear brake caliper mounting bolt and move out of the way.
    3 oosen and remove axle nut
    4 oosen axle bolt (right side of axle)
    5 lide axle out, you might need to persuade it with a block of wood and hammer, be carefull with the threads
    5 The caliper and support bracket can be lifted up and out of the way.
    6 rear wheel will slide off the drive splines and can be removed.
    7 reassembly is the reverse
