replacing clutch '83 240D

Hi, next week I will be replacing the clutch on my 83 240D. The release bearing is starting to make some noise , so after 258K mi. I think its about time for the works .(disc,pressure plate,release bearing ,pilot bearing) I have replaced clutches on various cars and trucks ,but not on a Benz. What I would like to know is there any tricks or anything out of the ordinary that I need to know? Better to ask first and feed off the vast knowledge of this forum than to make the job harder than it is . thanks in advance.
