Yes, if you have the 11 inch clutch (normal for an M) you can do it without splitting. I did it about 5 years ago. However, it's a dirty job working under the tractor and it's a chinese puzzle. Took me a full day plus some consulting with a local mechanic to get the clutch out. Now that I know how, could do it in an hour or so (once the lift all unit is out). Instructions don't say, to remove the cross shaft that works the clutch throwout but I could not get the main drive shaft out until I took that out. There are bolt holes in the clutch plate to compress the springs. You take out three of the bolts that hold the clutch to the flywheel and put them in the holes to compress the clutch. After that take the main drive shaft coupling loose and everything else out (cross shaft, clutch fork, etc) and you can tilt the main drive shaft enough to get it out. Also, the clutch fork is keyed to the cross shaft with heavy washers on the clamp bolts of the clutch fork. Tight working up in there! If you have equipment to support tractor, may be easier to split it. But...many hobby type folks don't have the stuff to split a tractor safely.
