Centerforce stage II Clutch Install Help
I was wonddering if anyone could give me any advise on installing the clutch. Like is there anything i need to know before attempting to do this at home? What exact tools are needed to do this? Should I just take it to a shop?
Thanks,

search !!!
I wrote a how-to that was pretty good maybe two weeks ago and I'm sure that this subject has been covered 100 times
centerforce or not, clutch install will be the same!

well, you DEFINETLY need a clutch alignment tool. so, yes, thats a special tool, but only like $4 if its not included with the clutch. also, you will need a big huge socket, and either a good impact gun, a big huge breaker bar to remove the flywheel plus a way to hold the engine to keep it from turning while you put 300 lb ft of torque on the bolt. so, I'd consider at least the socket a special tool, since its like 54mm or whatever.
and do not skip removing the flywheel. if you don't get it re-surfaced, the new clutch may not break in properly, and slip, or just overheat and chatter, which is very annoying. you *could* get lucky, but with all the work entailed removing the tranny, etc..., I wouldn't take the chance.

If you are removing the flywheel ( which is usually a "must" ), do a search on that also.

but, go to a transmission shop and see what they say about resurfacing the flywheel.
