Default Binding clutch

Hi,
I had a minor bump with my Powercat (PHT 3 mechanics) a couple of weeks ago when it toppled over onto its side while it was sitting on the ground. Unfortunatly the turbine was running at full speed, I think I stupidly caught the TX stick with my jacket sleeve when I was about to make an adjustment, doh! I managed to turn the turbine off quickly but now the clutch seems to binding slightly, just enough to make the blades turn when at idle speed. I can't see any damage when I look into the clutch. Do you think I need to remove the clutch for inspection and how easy is this to do?

I posted this on another site but I have not had a any replies from there.
