I also have a GX 345 with a noisy PTO clutch. It was noisy from the day I brought the machine home. Turns out that this machine is well known to have this annoying noise but there is really nothing wrong---you just have to live with it. As far as removing the clutch, you must use an impact wrench or you will never get it off. I know this stuff from experience.
