Likely, the flywheel will need to be resurfaced.

I just did mine a few days ago.pretty straight forward.pilot bearing goes in center of flywheel might be hard to pull out but if you take the
flywheel off to inspect it well,the bearing is easy to get out by tapping on it with a socket that matches the size of the bearing.another tip that i
used was to hang disk and pressure plate on the shafts and bolt them on from underneath thru the inspection window.that way the only thing
your trying to line up is the shaft going into pilot bearing rather than lining up splines.went together pretty easy that way.no need for alighnment
tool. Make sure the carrier that the throw out bearing rides on is in good shape. Really isnt to bad of a job,i did mine by myself and only
needed my boys to push it back together.

Well,mikeinpa has covered it,but,your live pto shaft splines may be worn where they fit into the back of the pressure plate.So you could need a shaft,but it is easy to replace along with its seal.Mark

Hi, to add to mikeinpa's instructions, the fuel line is disconnected at the input to the first filter, some older models had hydraulic hoses to power steering that had
enough slack that you could move the engine forward enough that you could change the clutch without disconnecting them, new models had steel lines that you had to
disconnect by the left brake pedal. Be sure to clean around the fuel line and hydraulic lines and I use ziplock bags with elastic bands to put over the open end of the
lines. If you are lucky you will find a molex plug under the left side of the battery box that will disconnect most of the electrical wiring to the engine side
otherwise you have disconnect all the wiring from the head lights, temp sensor, gen/alt and pull them back to the rear. First disconnect the ground cable off the
battery. The battery to starter cable will have to be removed.
Another hint drive a wooden wedge on top of the front axle to engine bolster on each side as this will prevent engine from tipping to one side.

Becareful use proper cribbing and jack stands or splitting stands.
