I think it's pretty straight forward, just be sure to mark where the driveshaft bolts up to the rear end to eliminate the possibility of vibration. Have plenty of brake cleaner.

There is a plate on the front of the bell housing on the passenger side you have to take off to get to the bolts that hold the DMF to gether. Other than that it is pretty striaght forward and it is easier to reasemble with SB unit.
Also you may want to consider block off your rear freeze plug while you are there.

Not to put you off on somebody else but dodgezilla04 (aka #2) ^^^, had a template to make a freezeplug cover. You just need to remove the bellhousing and intall it, reinstall the BH and then procede with your clutch install.
If you cant find or make a plate let me know and can tell you where I got mine but I think the ones that DZ was fabbin up where nicer than the one I have.

thanks again for the info how often are people dropping that frost plug or better yet at what power level would the frost plugs begin to become a concern
