Clutch Replacement: "How to" steps

[GR8 WHITE]

All, I Know some of you post some great "How To" step by step instructions on how to install or change out certain parts. Such as "Hazard Relay Switch". That helped out many! Now, is there a bullet format step-by-step for changing out a clutch? Such as

Remove Rear Tires
Remove Rear Axle assembly
Remove exhaust
Remove headers
Remove heat shield etc etc etc.

(Oh, and while your at it, make sure you have these seals to replace, "While your at it"...ie....Left and right side differential seal) Any suggestions for what to change, WHILE I AM AT IT?

Thanks all!

I am about to perform surgery on the beast and want to walk in the ICU with details.

Not bullets, but not a bad description:

DTE Brace and hardened left shaft would be good things to change while you are in there. DTE also makes a new side cover that can take more load, although I am not sure how often the case breaks when running the hardened shaft.

Good stuff.....wow, so much. I think the 6 - 8 hours is with a trained professional by far. I am looking at 6-8 days.....

Mike, I went with the same clutch as before, hoping that it was a fluke last time.....I hope.....It is teh RPS Stage 3 Plus. I hope I didn't select anything bad. There were so many options and just reading that How To install with the Exedy Twon Disk makes me wonder now.....I wish I had my car close to that guys shop so he could do it! I hate doing things of this magnitude on my own. Well, I got a buddy who did an STS install himself. Together, we may be dangerous.....

Glenn,
Good luck with your project. I used Cajundude's how-to for my differential replacement and it was spot-on. Just take your time and be very thorough and you shouldn't have any problems. I am planning a new clutch this winter, but am going to do it when I do my "transplant". Probably going to go with the Textralia 0Z700 and lightened flywheel.
Keep us posted, and take lots of pics!

Glenn,
I think Mike has done a clutch before so I'd get with him to lend you a hand.
