You may already know this but just in case:

The clutch is held on to the engine shaft by a socket screw (allen head bolt) up inside the larger nut you see. I don't remember the size right off.

Once the socket screw is loose you'll have to leave it within the clutch as you cannot remove it - it comes out and goes in with the clutch.

It will seem that there is not enough clearance to get the clutch out of there and you may need to bend the body plastic a bit but with some prying and grunting it will seem to just pop out and you'll be left wondering what all the fuss was.

I think the "Allen Head" is a 3/8"

Are you haveing trouble getting the bolt out, or trouble sliding the clutch off? If the shaft was not lubed/anti-siezed when the clutch was installed, it could just be stuck. Carefull use of a prybar might help, but just be carefull not to damage anything.

Another option is to take the big nut off, and pull the clutch apart where is. It's a little more difficult, but it can be done.
