i just did the same thing you are doing but i ran into a problem. after reaasembling the gear/flywheel/clutch assembly, my engione is hard as hell to turn. i had the engine running getting it ready for a tune when i noticed the leak and decided that it was no big deal and tackled the repair. the front assembly has not been touched but i am still afraid the front torrington bearing may have dropped somehow and is binding up the motor.

tap the gear with a mallet a few good times, put some penetrating oil behind it and it'll slide out. just make sure to clean up before putting it back in and lube up the oring with some vaseline to prevent pinching it.
