Default Dual clutch ready to go back in ??'s

So I recently received one of Greg Browns short shafts. A thing of beauty! I already have a rebuilt torque tube from 928 Int. as well as a new T/O and Pilot bearing, a new #928 116 087 13 release guide tube. forward disc #928 116 011 35 and rearward #928 116 011 36.
I have The super duper special Porsche grease too.
I hope it's not unwise to reuse my pressure plate and other bits?

Can I assemble this myself to same some time, money and have a little learning experience instead of having the mechanic do it?

Otto already helped me put the new release bearing in the PP and the little "U" shaped shims are still in there although i did NOT grease the fingers of the pressure plate. ( I think I should have, is that a big deal? If so can i grease them without pressing it out again?)

I will be getting two of the clutch arm bushings for the arm and the shifter cup. I think they are the same part?

Stan says to reuse the flywheel bolts as they may have stretched or something.

Are there any other pointers or "while you're at it's" that I need to consider?

I understand even those with experience have trouble getting the clutch discs lined up correctly.

if the flywheel bolts are in good condition reuse them.
I have never seen one break BUT if the heads are damaged then replace them,
always use a fresh hi quality tool for removal and insertion,
tighten per WSM

Use a toothbrush to smear the grease into the splines use the brush to put some on the fingers,
the TOB will slide sideways

I always deglaze the pressure plate, intermediate plate, and flywheel surfaces (unless new or machine ground) using fine wet and dry paper on a flat steel block, while running solvent over them in my parts washer. Also check for flat and true.

Deglazing/truing ensures your new driven friction plates will bed in nicely.

That GB stub shaft will make the world of difference

I believe there are paint dots on the disk forward, mine was yellow I belive the rear disk was blue, these dots need to be 180 from each other, so that they are balanced did my clutch in my driveway about 6 YRS ago and just recently sold the car. I may be wrong on the dots but I thinks that's correct recalling from memory from 6 YRS ago. Good luck the car I did was an 81 928.
