    Gonna try to get the clutch out today at lunch. Will it come out pretty easy once I get the bell bolts off or will I have to remove the flywheel bolts one by one from underneath? Sorry for the noob question...

    You can't get to the fly-wheel bolts until you remove the pressure plate and clutch disk. Loosen the pressure plate bolts equal amounts as it is spring loaded. Won't fly out in your face, but pretty heavy. You may want to have the fly-wheel re-surfaced if going new clutch and P-P. Check throw-out bearing, and pilot bushing. Look at ring gear teeth while it's out.

    Right right, I meant pressure plate, not the flywheel. Thanks for the reply. Heading up the hill now. ~w
