I'll give you the quickie version.

Drain trynny fluid
Disconnect driveshaft from yoke, pull out of tranny
Disconnect tranny from bellhousing (15 mm bolt heads) dont' forget to disconnect the electronics
Remove clutch fork and cable from bellhousing (I think this is next, it's been a few years but I've done this a few times so I do know what I'm talking about )
Remove starter from back of bellhousing (really really fun if you have long tube headers)
Remove bellhousing
Remove clutch pressure plate and disk
Remove flywheel and have it resurfaced!

Reinstall in reverse order. Make sure to get a clutch alignment took to line up the pressure plate or the input shaft will never go in...

Seriously, that's the REALLY abbreviated version. If you look around I'm sure there's a good tech article somewhere on it.

Forgot to put, make sure you replace the throwout bearing, and replace the bearing retainer on your T5 with an upgraded one while it's out...
