heres one i think theres another one on the forums somewhere that might be a little better.

its really easy just make sure you dont loose any dowels and make sure you remember how the starter gears go.i think it took me an hour or so to do it.

I just did mine yesterday and will say that how-to is spot on. Read through the thread and pay attention to the torque discussion - get a torque wrench and make sure you tighten the flywheel bolt to 94 lb-ft.

when you do it make sure the groove on the key is flush with the flywheel. people will say it is impossible to put it in too far. but when i first put mine it i put it in as deep as it would go, which i know the groove was below the flywheel. and just a little sticking up. and started it up and it sheared the little bit sticking up out and ruined it.
