Any tips when fitting new clutch?

[Bigbear]

I'm going to fit my new clutch today after replacing the rear main seal, any tips when re fitting at all? I know that people on here have probably replaced millions so thought I'd ask if there's any tips or pointers?

I replaced the clutch release bearing at the same time (no time like the present!).
Clutch alignment tool (or spare input shaft) will be very helpful.

Yeah I'm replacing the whole lot mate, I've got the alignment tool aswell. What torque did you set your flywheel nut at?

I can seriously recommend a few mnauals which will help with all your needs:

The two make a great combination.
