We need a report from someone who has dismantled one. By the way, bear in mind that the clutch drives the drum (roller) via a plastic gear, so rough treatment is not a good idea.

Two disassembly methods occur to me, from looking at the parts list without any better information. The first is to dismantle the drum and find a safe way to hold the plastic gear that drives the internal ring gear in the left half of the drum. The second is to hold the left side of the drum from rotating, and turn the clutch clockwise with the special spanner, using a steady, gentle force to unscrew the clutch shaft from the inside of the plastic gear. However the second method can only work if my interpretation of the parts list is right, and the clutch shaft is screwed into the gear. The parts list is not intended to be an assembly instruction, it is just a bunch of extremely blurred pictures.
