Daniel, there's nothing really troublesome behind that flywheel.
~Start by marking the flywheel & crankshaft so you can get it back together correctly. ~Then, pull the flywheel [careful, that D flywheel is heavy], flywheel spacer housing cover, & the flywheel spacer. [note, or mark the position of the little drive slot in the spacer in relation to the crankshaft].
~Then, make sure the drain hole in the spacer housing isn't plugged with dirt or gunk.
~Inside the flywheel spacer you will find a cork seal, remove that felt seal & clean the groove & spacer, then install a new cork seal [I use a very light coat of #3 permatex in the bottom of that groove], then take a socket & rub the cork seal to push it into the groove evenly all the way around.
~Then use a fine file or something similar to remove the burrs & sharp edges on the crankshaft splines so the seal doesn't get cut when re-installing the spacer. ~Then, engage the clutch & block the clutch cover to the tire with a block of wood to hold the crankshaft to the flywheel side. If you pull the clutch cover you can use a small jack between the tire & the center of the crankshaft.
~Then, oil the crankshaft & slide the spacer on [make sure the spacer slot will line up with the flywheel drive pin].
~Then install the housing cover with a new gasket [I always use sealer on that gasket], leave the bolts slightly loose.
~Then use some thin cardboard or 3-4 pieces of .003" feeler stock & make sure that cover is centered around the spacer, then tighten the cover bolts.
~Then re-install the flywheel making sure the drive pin engages the spacer slot.
~Then push the flywheel on until it's tight to the spacer.
~Then lightly tighten the bolts [very lightly tight].
~Then remove the R/H blocking & try to move the flywheel in & out, you need .005"-.010" of end play. If you have none [you probably won't have much] take a piece of brass or wood & a hammer & strike the crankshaft in the center of the flywheel then try to move the flywheel again. Either use a dial indicator to get .005"-.010" or work with it until you can just barely feel a slight flywheel in & out movement [a very light thunk].
~Then tighten the flywheel bolts & re-check the end play....
