if your 500HO is like my '07 Scrambler 500HO then you do have to remove the belt cover, belt, both clutches (need puller for primary) and then back cover. after all that it's a breeze to remove the starter. bendix, of course is accessed, if you need to, by removing the pull crank housing. you can work the bendix out with out pulling the flywheel. it's kind of like one of those puzzles you see at cracker barrel.
