Pulled the clutch cover on my lunch break. The plates were "stuck" together but popped apart pretty easily when I was only apply force to one at a time. I did not see anything that looked scary inside. Once the plates were separate, I reassembled loosely and could spin the rear wheel until I tightened the bolts on the basket. Waiting on a replacement gasket before reassembly.
Inside was not ad dirty as I feared. There was still a little cappuccino where the oil pooled but mostly drained away. I was able to clean a bit more out with the clutch cover off so hopefully another oil change or 3 will get most of it.
None of my 3 auto parts stores had a compression tester with the right size adapter, so I purchased a cheap one from Harbor Freight.
