GA Installing new clutch

Im installing a new clutch this weekend. This is my first FD so help me out and let me know if im missing anything. I have the new clutch and pressure plate. I have a throw out bearing on order as well as the new pilot bearing and the seal. I also have the flywheel holder and the 2-1/8 socket. Am I forgeting anything and any advice or help that is offered will be greatly appreciated. Also I have a lift if that helps. Thanks AJ.

1) Study the video linked in the faq about how to unlock the pull clutch assembly. Replace the wedge collar or wire ring if they turn out to be damaged in any way.
2) Rent a trans jack if you don't have one
3) Find a pilot bearing puller or borrow one
4) Have a big puller available to pop the flywheel off of the e-shaft.
5) Don't forget to degrease the pressure plate and flywheel faces.
6) The flywheel nut will need about a 600ft-lb impact wrench to be loosened, or a very large cheater bar.
