Michael,
As Errol mentioned the spacer just taps off. Don't forget to insert a Spiggot Bearing
into the end of the crank. The keeps the input shaft on the gearbox in a constant
plane. They are essentially a small brass cylinder that is porous. You need to soak
it in oil before insert and should just slide in with a little tap of a rubber mallet.
Be careful as the things are soft and break if hit too hard. Nissan/Repco/Burson
carry them as a stock item. I have the part number at home that I can post later if
needed.
