Sprocket bolts should be standard righty tighty. Be sure to lock the rear brake as you turn or use an impact wrench.
Dunno about the others. Do you have a service manual? If not, think you can find one online.

I've found it easy to remove the sproket bolt with a long handle wrench. Only thing long enough I had was my torque wrench. Check for cotter pins. You'd know which way the bolt turns if the natural movement of the part tightens it. For example when the engine is spinning the counter force would tighten the sproket bolt. Hope you get it...mine was tough 1st time too.

Clutch is right tighty too. I believe the fly wheel follows the same.
