you'll need an alignment dowel for putting it back in (plastic copy of input shaft). you can use a cut input shaft of a scrap transmission as well if you have one. Other than that I couldn't think of anything

Also when re installing the flywheel, tap the bolt holes first and then use some loctite on the bolts and torque them to spec. in a cross pattern.

Don't forget to check the pilot bushing while it's all apart.

And if you replace the clutch, you should have the flywheel surface machined.
