5kcstq clutch replacement advice

[Tom]

Just went through it a few weeks ago.. I was able to get the pin out with
the transmission still in the car. Tedious but possible none the less. Its
even more of a chore to get the slave out while still in the car - use a
long bar and hammer it out. The manual isn't very detailed but outlines the
steps well. Didn't need to disrupt the front suspension or subframe (?!?!)
but did have the luxury of a lift, trans jack and helper. Didn't need to
remove the downpipe either. The pilot bearing will be a bitch. Ended up
cutting it out as an assortment of pullers wasn't successful. Label the
vacuum lines to the center diff (if you have them?) and various wires. Tilt
the front of the motor up to get at the bolts hiding between the pan and
crossmember.

Going back in isn't too bad, just need to caress everything back together.
