pointers on clutch installation

[michaelg]

Hello all, I am getting ready to install a like new act 2100 (>50 miles) in my 99 gst. I don't need a rundown on how to install it, I'm just looking for some tips on how to make the process less painless and or quicker.

Don't need to remove any ball joints or brake lines or axles from hubs:

Use a new throw out bearing. Check fulcrum ball and clutch fork for wear.

Ive been real happy using a cherry picker attached to one of the top trans bolt holes rather than using a floor jack.
