I need some advice folks. I'm splitting the crankcase to change my crankshaft and I have everything off but this bracket that fits over the crankshft oil seal on the clutch side. It is held on by a large Phillips machine screw and I cannot get the darn thing to move. My question is can I split the case without removing this bracket and if not any ideas for getting the screw off? This is the first time I have done this.

you need an impact screwdriver for stubborn phillips screws.........

and yes you should remove that bracket..... if your replacing the crank, you should do the main bearings and seals too

yep what awk said will work best i had 4 stripped screws on my oil injection cover i had to take a dremal and cut it to accomidate a flat head screw driver then used my drill to get them out later replaced then with 10mm hex type screws
I was able to take a larger phillips head from a hex set. and tap it with a hammer and it then used the hex / head phillips into a socket and removed it that way.
But if that does not work 4 you, then a impact screwdriver is the way to go.

I basically did the Same for All of The Large Phillips On the Bottom end , Used A #3 I Believe with The 1/4 Drive Adapter With the 1/4 Drive Ratchet and put force on them , They make A Notable Sound when They Release !
