Having had to do this job twice, I'll chime in and say Staybrzy is spot on.

I'll add:
Drain the transmission fluid pulling the trans. You will definitely make a mess otherwise. Used trans fluid stinks!

Highly consider replacing the TOB retainer (Input shaft sleeve). If yours is chewed up it will cause premature wear on your new TOB.

Do not try to have your flywheel resurfaced. The FA20 has very tight tolerances for flywheel runout(1mm). Most shops will not be able to machine to these tolerances. New flywheels are cheap and have incredibly low tolerances (.001"). It kills me that a giant chunk of cast iron is a one time use item, but that's how it is.
