This should be pretty easy. There's no nut to have to hold still on the other 
side and since the car is jacked up anyway (since you're taking the engine out) 
it's easy to get under there with a socket wrench and an extension and just 
spin it out from the transmission side. The clutch arm is in the way a bit, but 
the socket extension bypasses this. You may need to start by breaking it free 
with an ordinary box end wrench.
