The service manual says use a impact wrench or remove the top engine cover and use a flywheel holding tool. A impact has always done it for me. The old clutch may be stuck on the shaft and require you to use a puller to get it off. If you use a puller make sure you only grab on to the PTO pulley and not the drive belt pulley above it. When you reassemble use some anti-seize compound on the shaft and if you ever have to take it off again it will just slide right off.

Yup.. I just changed engines out on mine, had to remove the clutch with an impact wrench, the problem I had was removing the actual pulley from the crankshaft,
I wound up putting some heat to it to get ot off. but of course you are only changing the clutch so it will be easy enough:thumbsup:
