Default Clutch Install

Does anyone have a full write up on a clutch install? I'm debating weather or not to do this with a buddy or pay a shop to do it. My friend replaces clutches all the time on other cars, but never Corvettes. I know its a huge ordeal, so I would like to see a step by step before I take on the task.

Thanks!

This was a great write up...

I just put a new LS9R clutch in my 07 TT Z06 and although I do all my own work this just seemed like a real pain in the *** without a lift, but it appears to be very doable if you don't mind the soft concrete for about 10 hours...

Thats a great deal as the book says 9.5 hours! I just paid over $1000, but it took a little longer (hour) as the turbos were in the way...
