clutch replacement

I'm replacing my clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, pilot bearing, throughout bearing this weekend. I have the tool to hold the flywheel and the clutch alignment tool. Is there anything else needed? Do I need to replace any bolts etc?

Here's some good info:

Also buy a new pilot bearing seal. Some clutch kits don't automatically come with them.

Consider a new clutch fork. The old ones can fatique and break, especially with a new, stiffer pressure plate. I doubt you'd want to pull the transmission again over a ~$45 part.

Wink Tools

4 to 6 jack stands ( 2 placed under front frame and 2 under rear bracket )
creeper
A freind that can hold a 100 lb trans up !
oil drain pan ( for trans fluid before removing trand and drive shaft )
alot of long 1/4 inch extentions ( to reach the trans bolts )
large floor jack ( for jacking and remoming and re installing trans )
large long flat scew driver ( for the snap ring removal )
torq wrench
Large socket for that nut (I forget the size )
large Bearing pullers ( to remove piolit bearing and to pull the flywheel )

note: when using the large bearing puller on the old flywheel mine was a B, it was
actualy bending then I pinged it with a hammer it rang like a bell and it came off.

Check your rear seal

That's all I can think of for know It's been awile since I did mine
