You'll need to unbolt the bellhousing from the transmission (there are 4 3/4 inch bolts going into the bellhousing from behind), undo your driveshaft, and transmission crossmember, then slide the whole transmission back so the input shaft comes out of the throwout bearing (making sure you have a jack under the tranny so it doesn't fall on you).

Pull the old bearing off the clutch fork, and slide the new one on. Re-installation is opposite of removal, cept for all the struggling to get the input shaft back into the pilot bushing / bearing, LOL

Oh, guess being a 3 on the tree you'll need to disconnect the linkage right away too.
