Re: 1987 Truck W46 clutch replacement Q's

Thanks DeltaP.

The local AutoZone stocks the clutch kit for $72.99, flywheel is + $49.99. Looks like the kit includes pressure plate, disc, alignment tool, throw-out bearing, and pilot bearing. I don't see the throw-out bearing hub listed... Do I need a tube of gasket sealant for the seal/lower surface? (saw this on 1 YouTube vid.)
I'll add a rear main seal to the list.

Trans. fluid was one of the 1st items I replaced; if it won't puke out when trans. is removed I will leave it & just check the level.

I'll be doing this in a garage, and I don't have a trans. jack. Would a 3-ton floor jack with a platform of cut to length 2x4's work if the unit is secured to it? Maybe a solid shipping palette?

Lastly, is a rental puller for the pilot bearing the best method for removal? I've seen several slick ways to coax it out but I prefer the proper (easier?) way...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
