Yes..

Keep pressure on the clutch to hold the torrington thrust bearing from dropping out of position.

When you re-assemble it, use a short tube in the oil hole in the front iron that supplies the MOP, to keep the sealant from blocking the hole.

Was the front cover sealed with a gasket or sealant?

Gaskets can get really bonded..
