Default Clutch Jab

Hi Gang,
I'm getting ready to replace my Master and slave clutch assembly and I acquiring the parts and tools.
Anyone that has done this before can you please take a look at the Harbor Fright 450 Lb Transmission Jack part # 39178. I'm wondering if this jack will work for this job.
I'm also looking for a Clutch alignment tool.
I don't think my Clutch has been damaged by the leaking Hydro-fluid but you never know. I'm going to pull the clutch assembly and look it over before I purchase a new clutch assembly. I had the clutch replaced in 07. I wish the shop had suggested replacing the slave and installing a remote bleeder. Live and learn!

Thanks,
Steve

So, you're planning on keeping your clutch, and replacing the hydraulics only? Either way, you need two tall jacks/stands to support the torque tube/differential assembly. I just did this on a two post lift, but it can be done on stands, but you need something on both ends. My tuner swears by dropping the whole assy. together, including the engine cradle. Says it's much easier this way, but sure looks intimidating.
