Clutch, How hard to change out? Options

[Cragspider]

Ok like it says, Im going to be changing out my clutch in the next week or so. So I would like to know how hard was it to change and how did you do it. I have the toyota repare manuals but I would like to hear from you all about it.

I would only surface the flywheel if it is grooved, has heat cracks in the surface, or is discolored from heat. otherwise, hit it with the drill and one of those sanding disk things, just enough to clean the polish off some. Getting the flywheel done right can be a problem. I have seen shops really screw up flywheels, Like some where the disk surface is raised a few thousandths from the press plate mount area, they just grind it all smooth, and that in effect does the same as having a worn disk, it slips that much sooner, or they grind it crooked and you get vibrations or clutch chatter you cant get rid of. Take it to a GOOD machine shop if you do.
Also should install new pilot bearing in the end of the crank while you are in there. and check for signs of rear main seal leakage on the back side of the flywheel, (as long as you are in there and this close)
