Starter/Flywheel Damage - Help Need Advice

Right, if it's the traditional "fork and rod" you just take the nut off the end of the little pushrod that comes out of the slave so the fork can come off it. You know, while you're in there, you might as well throw in a new clutch, PP and TOB, unless the existing stuff is really new.

X2 for replacing the clutch and pressure plate as long as you're in there. TOB is a definite, they're not that expensive. Might also want to look at having the flywheel turned as long as it's going to be off to have the new ring gear pressed on. If the unit is very low mileage it may not be necessary but it's a judgement call. Think seriously about what you've gone through to get the xmsn, clutch and flywheel out and ask yourself it you want to do it again for a new clutch later. Is it worth a couple of hundred dollars to you not to have to do it again?
Had about 5K on mine when I overtightened the xmsn drain plug and had to have the rear case replaced. Did the clutch and PP but the flywheel was still very clean so didn't have it turned but that was a call by my local machinist after he took a look at it.
