Ok, my clutch job is coming up pretty soon, thanks for the input on resurfacing the flywheel, that will definetly get done. However, what else should I replace when I do the clutch? I have the 'kit' from Cdan of disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing and pilot bearing, but should I replace the rear main seal of the engine? It's not leaking, but if it's like most engines it'll never be easier than now to replace (maybe it's not hard to get to after the fact?).
So any tips on what else I should replace?
Now, for the actual job, I've tried several searches and either this was never covered before or the search isn't working (confirmed that the search does have some issues, but possible this hasn't been talked about).
What's the easiest way to pull the tranny? I've never done one on a Toy truck, did a 40 and have done a few other vehicles. Is there a tranny hump removeable piece? I have a book on the truck but haven't looked at it yet, still trying to get psyc'd up for this. I was thinking of renting a tranny jack, but then found this, a drop-in piece for a standard floorjack, anyone used one of these?

Don't know if it's necessary, I won't be doing it alone, but anything that makes it easier would be appreciated.
Also looking on pirate for a clutch writeup but haven't found anything yet...hopefully it's so easy nobody bothered to do a writeup..
Edit: Ok, somewhat of a nevermind on the clutch writeup, I found it here. But still curious on that tranny jack adapter.
