I removed my transaxle and left the engine in the car. I had the car up on my QuickJack. I used a jack stand and block of wood on the engine case to support it. Remove the muffler (get new gaskets). I then purchased a harbor freight low profile transmission jack that uses a 1/2 drive extension and ratchet. Are you having the flywheel machined or putting a new one in it? If you put a new one in it, you will need a new pilot bearing (should come with clutch kit from places like Pelican Parts when you purchase the larger clutch kit that comes with most of the stuff), felt washer, the split spacer should be in the crank snout, and order a set of shims (from LN Engineering. The thicknesses were stated in Ian Karr's video. (aka Type 4 Store)) to set the end play of the crankshaft, new bolt plate and new fly wheel bolts, punch to transfer over the alignment pins for the pressure plate to the new fly wheel, new schnorr washers for the cv axles, new gaskets for the cv joints, torque wrench, magnetic base dial indicator. Flywheel O-ring. I may be forgetting a few things.
