The bearing is behind the flywheel, and you have to take off the clutch/flywheel/gearbox/rear-end to get to it. You will need a tool like this http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...=25-50889225-2 O'Reilly has one for their loaner tool program. To put it back in you have to get a socket, that will sit on the out side of the metal lip of the bearing and hit it in, and make sure not to let the socket move or you could break it..
Steps to get the clutch out, http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...kit/index.html. It's not a easy job that is for sure.

No problem, I added some more info to my post to explain it a little better. Let me know if you have any more questions. I have done 2 in the last 6 months, soon to be 3. Anytime you are doing a clutch might as well change it out, it's only a 10 dollar part..
Edit, Sorry it is a 12 dollar part.

The cost of the bearing is eighteen dollars and something at the dealership here, cheap insurance. I bought a two pound slide hammer that included the appropriate jaws (and several other types) at Harbor Freight for fifteen dollars--worked perfectly.
