Well, assuming (there's that word again) that it is the same as the TR6 all 
you have to do is pull the flywheel (may as well get it resurfaced since it is 
getting a new clutch) and there is an aluminium seal carrier that is held in 
place by four (or more) bolts.  If you can get the old seal out without 
removing the carrier you won't need a new gasket.
 Inspect the surface on the crankshaft and clean any crusted carbon with some 
solvent on a soft rag.
