Gear comes right out. No problem. Goes right back in, no problem. On assembly, Clamp the flex plate in the engine direction. Use a bungee or a light clamp or rubber bands.

Grease up the rear hard washer with the chamfer to the crank, thrust bearing and the spacer and slip on as a unit to avoid dropping the bearing off of the spacer. Then the thrust plate.
