On the CF, depends on how heavy you wheel; otherwise just stick with a stocker if your wallet is a bit thin.

Highway miles on clutch looks fine, but I don't know if you're one of those folks who rides theirs. All relative to driving style.

TO bearing no press; just make sure your clips are in place. It rides on the clutch fork that your slave cylinder operates; you'll see it. I tried to find a photo for ya, but no luck.

Pilot bearing; they make a puller, but I use a dowel and wet newspaper if popping one out. You'd need the alignment tool if pulling the flywheel,as the clutch plate is on the other side of it. If you're sure it's the TO bearing you're fine.

NO-- rent a friggin' tranny jack and be done with it, esp if doing it alone and unless you have good insurance. It's a LOT cheaper than any injury you'd inflict on yourself.

NOW-- go get an FSM for yer birthday, and good luck!
