Clutch swap time coming..

[Tbuck07]

Im going to be going to my buddy's mechanics garage this Thursday to swap out the clutch..(hes got a lift and lots of tools..)

I have the clutch kit, got all the bearings, and resurfaced my flywheel. I know I have the alignment tool..What else do I need? Is there some kind of tool that I have to go rent to get the pilot bearing out? Anyone know what its called?

And is there a step by step tutorial somewhere on the web with pictures maybe that I can print off just in case I run into anything? I just want this to go as smooth as possible

Thanks
