I take it you have a split clutch.
remove plate below input shaft remove snapring on shaft put long threaded bolts in holes 3 & 9 0clock this will pull bearing ,removeinternal snapring on gear,thread 7/16 nf bolt into shaft,pull shaft out the gear has droped far enough now to remove the input shaft
