I will leave the actual splitting part to the manuals - if you don't have an I&T manual - get one. The job is not that hard, and you will be able to do it fine. I will "assume" this is for a 9N/2N/8N tractor...

Do this on a hard surface, and I use a good hydraulic floor jack on the engine side to push/pull the front half away from the blocked up back half. I got two 6" 7/16" - 14 bolts and cut the big hex head off. This way I can screw these into the engine half and use them as guides as I am pushing the two parts back together. DO NOT use a screw to force them back together, tighten all bolts once they are mated completely and not until then. You can spin the PTO shaft to get the input shaft splines to mate up with the clutch - of course, it will need to be engaged.

Be careful with the clutch pressure plate to flywheel bolts. They are a special bolt and replacements are about $6 EACH. Most apply too much torque to these bolts and snap them, they really don't need as much as you would think. The I&T manual does not state a torque value, it just says tighten them evenly.

I suggest you replace your pilot and maybe your throw out bearings as well if it needs it, and replace the input shaft housing oil seal while you have it split.

Project should take 4 hours or less, no special tools are required, and it is a fairly straight forward job.

Good luck,
Dan
