yes, don't go to light, you will regret. when installing the flywheel and clutch make sure you use proper torque specs for both the flywheel and the clutch, when tightening the clutch to the flywheel only turn each bolt a couple turns at a time and use a star pattern, keep tightening untill the fingers of the clutch plate are all even, keep in mind the torque specs. properly lube the bearing and clutch fork. one of the hardest parts of getting the tranny back on is lining up the spline on the tranny and clutch. make sure your jack is adequate! Tools: torque wrench, breaker bar, and all the other standard tools. if I remember correctly you never need to open up the clutch line for any reason, the slave cylinder should unbolt from the tranny and never be a problem. Good luck !

Look at this pic, this is on my eclipse but the idea is the same, Make sure the fingers on the pressure plate are all even like on my clutch !! as you tighten the bolts on the clutch the fingers nearest the bolt you are tightening will be pushed in toward the flywheel, if you turn any of the bolts to much at one time then you could damage the pressure plate.
