OOPS! I missed the V8 detail! Same procedure, however- - - -jack the engine up under the oil pan (use a piece of 2X6 between the jack and the pan to avoid denting it) and unbolt the rear mounts. Then support the back of the engine with a strap if you need to move the truck around while the bellhousing is off. There's really enough room to remove the flywheel for machining without pulling the BH- - - -most shops I've worked for would fire me if I tried something like pulling parts for no good reason. That's about a 3-hour job in a flat rate shop- - - -drop the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel, resurface the flywheel, and test-drive the rig to lunch with a new clutch installed. Once the flywheel is refaced, you might get away with reinstalling those new-looking clutch parts.
Too bad we're not closer to each other- - - -I've got half a dozen of those flywheels stashed away!
