This correct ? There is a rubber gasket behind that plate
yes, pull the drive off.

then bend the corners of the tabs, remove the bolts. then grease up the threads of 3 of the bolts and put them in the threaded holes to jack the clamp plate off EVENLY.

set the clamp ring and the very deformed donut off to the side. the resulting hole is about 2" larger than the spud on the end of the PDS shaft.

pulling the accessory drive pulleys will help clear your floor.

using an engine tilter will almost be required
