Clutch Kit Help

Throw out bearing starting to squeak,figured may be good time to change clutch while I'm at it. 230,000+ on as far as I know original clutch. Any secrets to making this job any easier? Also auto parts express on Ebay has clutch kit for $169.00 free shipping - too cheap??? Don't do any heavy towing - mostly highway miles.

just get a buddy to help ya lift and tug on it to get it out of there and to put it back in. pretty straight forward install, just everything is big and heavy. And as far as clutches go you get what you pay for.

$169 is too cheap. Get a Sachs (OEM) replacement and it will go another 230k.
