How do I remove the pto clutch on my John Deere 160 lawn tractor?

How do I remove the pto clutch on my John Deere 160 lawn tractor? This mower is a 1985 or 86 model.

Loosen the center bolt that holds it up; remove the bolt only part way; use a spider-legged tighten-down puller, hooking the feet into the slots on the underside of the clutch and tightening down on the head of the bolt. Once it breaks free, remove the bolt the rest of the way and it comes easy. Don't forget to unplug the wire first.
