Pilot bushing removal - I have to admit I was highly skeptical about the large bolt & bread (or grease) technique, but it just worked! It only took a couple of minutes. We didn't have any white bread, so I used a flour tortilla. ROFL. Saved me a trip to the parts store. I still can't believe it worked!

Great guide, thank you! I've replaced my stock parts with ZSpeed 20lb SMF flywheel, Stage2+ clutch and pressure plate, OEM CMS and heavy duty CSC off Ebay. I've also bought brand new flywheel bolts from Nissan.

One thing to add removing driver side CAT/Pipe makes a huge difference in reaching the tranny top bolts.

I had access to the hoist, electric power tools, tranny jack and it took 9 hours with some short breaks. I had all day so I wasn't in a particular rush and wanted to do things slow and right.

Very happy with a final result, this project was prompted by the fact that the OEM DMF was making lots of noise and vibrations due wear at the track and the stock clutch although having lots of meat couldn't hold the power anymore. Also OEM CMS and CSC were failing. So pretty much the entire clutch system needed a replacement.
