Doing a clutch job next weekend
Im going to upgrade my clutch this next coming weekend hopefully. I purchase a Competition clutches pressure plate, ACT street disc, and Fidanza flywheel. I am just in need of a TO bearing and alighnment tool. Are those dealer parts only? Can i use any alighnment tool do aftermarket clutch systems differ?
Also should i replace the bolts on the pressure plate/flywheel? Or reuse them.
I am going to use the write up from the DIY posts and a buddy who is really knowlegable with hondas. Am i missing anything else before i jump into this project?

It's up to your preference what TO bearing you'd like to use, but if you can get OEM, I would recommend it over others.
It's a rare case that people use new PP bolts, it's not a bad practice, but it is not necessary. I've re-used the bolts for all the clutch jobs I've done in the past without problems.
This may be over-kill, but I would suggest using Loc-Tite on your flywheel bolts and/or PP bolts. I've seen two cases where flywheel bolts loosened themselves and damaged the sprung hub of a clutch disc on a B18C1 (GSR) motor. I do not know if it was a fluke or poor installation practice before hand, but out of paranoia I opted to use loc-tite. Many will tell you 80 lbs/ft is a a lot of torque for them to loosen.
As for the alignment tool, just use one that will match the splines on the clutch disc. The purpose is just to align the disc in the center while you're bolting on the PP.
