Brewtoo, you had asked about geting the car high enough to roll the tranny out on the trans jack. I used the std Rhino ramps on the front (approx 6 inches I think) with two 2x12 boards under each. I also jacked up the rear
about 6 inches to give more working room. When I lowered the tranny, i was just able to slip the big end out around the fenderwell behind the tire. Pretty smooth.

David, one special tool that would have been nice is the B1 spring compressor.
It pushes the outside cover in, against two big springs, so you can place the ring in the groove. Pretty easy to get the thing out, pretrty hard to get it smoothly back in. You will need help to hold it in and set the c clamp.
