Those "Meds " are available at the local Bottle Barn. Being a mechanic at heart, regardless of ability, I find myself reaching for a screwdriver, late in the day, and I just plain Like a few dark beers.
Hire someone, pay for their tools. Getting in and out of the clutch cover is not a big deal. A 1/4" drive socket set, ratchet, I'd want an extension and wobble, cuz I like having stuff. A set of metric wrenches, The through bolts that hold the pegs, and sidestand, have to come off, so, blocking up under the frame to keep it standing is needed. IIRC, I used a come-along , rafter in the shop, rope on the frame. Tank off, which is a hassle, but that is just how I do stuff.. If you decide to pull the tank prepare a place to set it down first. The speedo cable doesn't look like it would not appreciate the load, I want at least six inches for it to curve.
I MAY have gotten everything off and slipped the through bolts in and put the sidestand back on, so access to the engine guts are easier to get at. One chain guide is replaceable without going too deep. Might need to get the head cover off, I can't remember. Exhaust has to come off. It's not technically difficult, doesn't take a lot of tools. The labor costs saved will buy the tools and leave money in your pocket.
