I have to switch my clutching in my 15 High Country to the high elevation kit for a trip out west and since I was blowing quite a few belts last year I figured I would tear it all down and clean/check the clutches over. Do I need any special tools besides a clutch puller for this and does anyone have a good write up on this? Have only had a couple clutches apart in the past.

Need a secondary clutch compressor of some sort. I use a big piece of threaded rod, nuts and washers.

You don't need a compression tool just take out all but one bolt then set it on the floor helix side down, put a foot on top of it and back out the last bolt.

You will need a torch though, get the bolts really really really hot. Cat uses high temp loctite and it's a pain to get out. Make sure to break them loose with a breaker bar or ratchet. I've never found a torx that'll hold up to the impact.
