Cobie,
get yourself an LGV/HGV 3/4 inch drive socket set (probably 30-40 quid on ebay) which will come with both of the sockets you need for the rear wheel (42 and 46mm I think they are). Try to get single hex ones if you can. The sets usually come with a MF of a ratchet and the usual bits you get in a normal socket set, only in a much bigger box. Do not bother with the special tools that cost upwards of 30-40 quid. For the clutch the tools usually go for about 70 quid but if you can get hold of an old set of plates you can make one if you have access to a welding set or welder. Instructions are probably posted on this site somewhere.
The cheapest tool I have found for the headstock centre nut is in the states - in fact the states seems to be cheaper for just about everything on the Duke's right now.
