Reccomended tools for clutch change?

[Nightscape-MINI]

As some of you may have read in the faults and fixes section, im starting my installation for my new clutch this week.
I have the Bentley manual, however can anyone (maybe a tuner) recommend any special tools i will need to do the job?
I will try and make a photographic guide up while doing the installation, as there doesent seem to be a complete guide anywhere on the net.

Firstly well done on self fitting -a rare thing nowadays
The Clutch change can be a real PITA , it is not a quick or easy task and there are many bolts and disconnects -each has the potential to give you grief , no two clutch changes seem to be the same each one has its own problem
Tools wise not that much required ,some aftermarket kits come with a plastic alignment tool,ball joint separator is handy to have .
Torque wrench,grease ,wd40, loads of rags, some tywraps/string to hang the aircon rad up without discharging the gas , a second person to help lifting the gearbox in/out
When you have completed the job Ask yourself how much you would charge to do the job -bear in mind you have to warranty the job and any associated areas - you will see why some places dont want to know when it comes to changing the clutch !! far easier to do 10 services/oil changes in the same time
What cluctch are you fitting?

Im fitting the clutchmasters fx300 and lightened flywheel. Do you need an engine hoist to lower the engine slightly out of its mounts?
Ok its my duty to make a guide
Thanks for the help guys.

There are a couple of half decent guides on NAM on how to do the clutch and LSD install.
