You need a clutch puller. It screws in where you just took that bolt out and it pops off. The shaft is tapperd so it gets pressed on when you tighten that large bolt up during instal. It would have been easier while the engine was till in but you can still do it with an extra pair of hand to hold it.
Thank you, thats what I was afraid of!!!
i herd that you can pack the hole with grease and screw bolt back in and the pressure from the grease will push the clutch off ....i have never tryied this but it is worth a shot since you dont have a clutch puller ...nothing to lose except a little grease
On the flywheel end of motor you need to remove everything also flywheel stator and induction pickup, You will need a PULLER to remove flywheel also and watch out for the half moon key in flywheel hub.

Harmonic balancer puller works for flywheel, I don't know why you're taking it apart but you can split the case with the clutch still on the shaft. of course if you're using a different crank then you will have to remove it anyway.

You can't use the original bolt as it only threads into the crank end. However some people have been successfull using the grease and a bolt that threads into the end of the clutch. The safest and best method of course is to use a proper puller.

You can get a OEM puller at the dealership for $36. You dont want aftermarket. They bend and break with a lot of force. If you need help with this or getting a puller PM me and we can work something out.

Yea need the puller to get it off like said above. You can do the freeze or grease trick. The guys likes how easy that works...
