How should I remove my release bearing?

I'm going to change my clutch sometime this week because my bearings are making some hella noise! I get crazy squeaks and the terrible grinding when in gear. I've got the clutch, release and pilot bearings and the tranny mounts are on the way. I've never actually done this surgery on an RX-7 so what should I expect, mainly the release bearing. I've changed clutches on Ford Rangers and a Suzuki Samuari but never an RX-7. Thanks for any help, and happy motering.

The release bearing is simple, just slide it off the input shaft.
The pilot bearing is the part that is a bitch. If yo could get ahold of the special mazda tool, thats the best way to go. Otherwise your probably going to have to get creative.
