In the middle of replacing the clutch on my '85.  How crucial is it that I
have the flywheel resurfaced?  If it is crucial, how do I remove the blasted
thing?  Is it common to be able to rent the flywheel locking tool they show
in the Bentley?  It's 10:30PM right now, so I can't exactly call the rental
shops.

On a side note, this is the messiest job I've performed on any of my VW's,
ever.  It's as though all 187,000 miles worth of dirt on the bottom of the
van, engine, and transmission have been transferred to my skin.  I am now
the greasiest accountant in the free world, and that's saying something...
