The design of that clutch appears very similar to the one on the Atco Deluxe shown in this YouTube vid: [video][/video]
So yes, you will have to be prepared to deal with loose bearing balls, if that's the case. A catch container, and a soft surface [say an old hessian bag] underneath are both good ideas. Steel balls will bounce incredible distances if they're dropped on a hard surface...
To get them back in, you just use a non-melting grease [e.g. Castrol HTB] to stick them into the outer race.
There is a firm called 'Precision Hytec' in Highett, Vic who make a few cork mower clutch linings - no website, but they have a FleaBay store HERE . Their contact details are in some of those listings. They could also supply suitable cork sheet. No first-hand knowledge of them, but their prices look pretty good.
