Remove the choke,throttle cable,coil wire,and if you have the mower deck on it ,the belt.
Remove the pto turnbuckle.
Remove the 4 bolts holding the motor.
Slide motor forward and remove the front plate,disc, rear plate and teaser spring.If you still don't have enough room you will have to remove the front grill casting .

That was easy... but if you go this far why not just remove the clutch entirely,you may need to get a new shaft,and go over everything,true up the plates,new t.o. bearing and clutch spring.You may need a new yoke and clutch arm with pin.

Hope this

It needs just about everything you said but the fact that it still works fine has me hesitant to do all that work at this point. Did you just order an OEM spring? Are there any tricks to prolong the life of it, I hear they are pretty common to break.
