Always replace the pilot bearing while you have access.

:thumbs: when in doubt cut that f'ucker. That clutch looks nice. Did you get the aluminum flywheel seperately, or does it come from SPEC as an assyembly? Do you have to get it balanced or does it just bolt up? One more thing, do you have a manual of some sorts that you're going by? How hard is all this? Just turning wrenches?
