You need to pull the transmission and starter. So get a transmission jack as well. I would seriously consider replacing the clutch and release bearing while you're under there. Get a service manual from Haynes to make sure you're doing the job right. Hope this helps. Don't work under the truck while it's supported by a jack, use ramps and make sure you install a lifting bar on that motor!
