Default Can't remove fly wheel without removing engine? 59A

Have my drive line and tranny out to replace the U-joint and "freshen up" my tranny and thought I'd "freshen up" my clutch to try to get rid of the clutch chatter by turning the fly wheel, replace the clutch disk, pilot bearing and pressure plate, and get all of that balanced before putting back on the car. Ordered new pilot bearing, clutch disk and pressure plate from VanPelt and was just about to remove the fly wheel to get ready to do all that when I realized that the diameter of the fly wheel is bigger than the opening at the back of the engine.

Is there no way to get that fly wheel out to turn it without removing and dismantling the engine?
