Yes, you will need to remove the engine. I usually remove the engine and gearbox from the car together and separate them once they are out, as it makes aligning the master spline on the clutch driven plate easier. Replacement of the clutch thrust bearing is fairly straightforward. The engine and gearbox unit is not too heavy and is manageable between two people without the need for an engine hoist. Leon and I have managed it between us and we are both only about 8 stone each.
