old case lader backhoe throw out bearing question

Ok guys the questions is do i have to take the hoe off to change a throw out bearing. I was thinking of taking the loader bucket and arms off, the front weight and then with plasma cutter cut loader front frame off about 6 inchs from where it bolts to front of engine and then move engine forward. Grady was over and he said to ask you professionals abut this. i hope i can micky mouse this throw out bearing in and new clutch.. Just getting a growl from clutch area .. thanks all
