Default Suzuki lt 80 clutch help please

Hello all... Is the front clutch on an lt 80 supposto be greased or dry? And also how do I get rear clutch plates off .. I got the first part with the weights off but the clutch plates are stuck. Should I use a puller ?

From 87-2003 (or so) Suzuki packed the front clutch full of grease. Which hardened and caused damage. The newer LT's have no grease in the front clutch. I use just a dab of grease to help hold the roller in place durring installation..
As far as the rear, look at a fiche so you can tell me the real names of the parts. That way I don't advise wrong.

The bearing is froze/stuck on the shaft. Been there..
Dare I say...heat gun.. Maybe a hot and cold or 2 will help.
They usually come off.
