Whats up guys. Im replacing the stock clutch on my 99 spyder during spring break and want to make sure I have everything for a smooth install.

This is what I have ordered:
Act 2100 - pressure plate, street disc, TOB, and alignment tool
XACT flywheel
new flywheel bolts
stainless clutch line
3 bottles syncroshift
SBR Lsd insert
stock fulcrum ball and release fork

As far as tools I obviously have all the basics plus
torque wrench
2 jacks/ 4 jackstands
locktite
2 friends
Beer

Am I missing anything for a smooth install(my first clutch)?
 
27 cans of PB blaster... Also, make sure you have a 1 1/4" drive socket to get the axle nut off. A pry-bar would be a good idea to have to pry the axles out, also. Grease would also be a good idea. I needed some wood and I used some towels as well to place on my jack to put under my oil pan to support the engine. Don't forget the brake fluid and to bleed and adjust the clutch properly. P.S. Make sure your slave and master cylinder aren't on their way out. Now would be the best time to take care of that since your already doing major surgery. Have fun!!!
 
It's also a good time to consider replacing the fuel filter if it needs it. You may not be that close to it again for a while.

The pry bar that looks like a long screw driver with a bent tip works well for separating the axles. Give it a wack with a dead blow hammer and the axle will pop right out. The hammer also helps for encouraging other parts to go the way you want.
 
I suggest getting a impact, it makes everything go so much faster and smoother. Also the SBR insert goes in your transmission so make sure you have someone that knows how to install it.
 
Now is a good time for a rear crank seal plus tranny axle seals, input shaft seal. Heater hoses are easy with the tranny removed. When putting in the insert...double check all parts, rails, forks for signs of wear/cracks.

ok looks like I have everything except brake fluid. Any special kind at autozone? I will also go get a 1 1/4 drive for axle at sears.
