Does the clutch even need to be removed to get the new belt on??
Im not familiar with the model but usually you can get a belt on/off by just releasing the tension on the idler pulley or removing the deck.
You may need to use a 3 claw gear puller and spray that sucker good with PB Blaster for a while..I can get any pulley off with a good puller and impact gun.
