Thumbs down Clutch change!

Hey fellas,anyone got one of those handy links to the help?
I need to change the clutch this weekend..My SB came apart inside somewhere...I think the center...(nothing but the edge)
any help would be great,this is kinda the cats-***-trophy I was looking to avoid.
Thanks, Brian

I guess you know that thing weighs about 500 # don't you ? you will need a good jack and a good flat spot. dont have a link, but pretty straight foward. on the 5600 the bellhousing is part of the tranny, so you have to unbolt it from the block.

Thanks Blackdiesel
Yeah,its one big ol' hunk of iron!
I got a shop with a concrete floor,just was not sure if there were any tricks..
Anyone else have one of these clutches go out with as little power?
I did not abuse it,I used to haul logs up here in Idaho and I adjusted the clutch once a year,need it or not...so I'm not an abuser!
SB stand behind there stuff?
Glad I saved the stocker!
