Pay close attention to re-seating the converter on the shafts and complete engagement/seating during install. It's not good enough to seat it before you start cranking up the trans jack since you end up wiggling and so forth during that process. So double check before you start trying to seat the bell housing on the alignment dowels.

During removal, I found it easiest to remove the transfer case (easy to do, and no fuss, no muss), and then lower the trans slightly on the trans jack, and sit indian style with my head where the transfer case used to be. That and a couple of well places lights allows you to sight right up along the transmission and run each of those upper bell housing bolts out easily. Nice line of sight.

NOTE! The 2 upper bolts on the bell housing are a different size than all the others.

You will need to get creative to make the tools to compress the spring plates to remove the clutch plates. I used PVC and a combination of other things. For one or 2 of them, I made a tool just like the ones pictured in the manual. I think I stuck a photo of that in my post at one point. For me, the longest process of the dissassy and re-assy was making the round tools/adapters to do the clutch plates. That had to wait until the towers were out and disassembled in order for me to determine just what I needed to make and what dimensions.

For holding the housing I used a combination of my engine hoist, and a neighbor. (B&B system).

Re-installing the first tower (the heavy one), I made a clamp for the shaft and ended up using the cherry picker to lower the assembly in gradually, keeping my hands free to align everything.

Follow the booklet and lay out your parts logically and it's pretty relaxing, and kinda cool to examine everything and what not. I thought it was a lot less stressful than, say, my job.
