Clutch throwout bearing replacement

Has anyone replaced their throwout bearing? I plan on doing it in the near future and am wondering if their are any special tools or info that I will need to know or is it pretty much the same process as in any other manual transmission.

make sure you lube the fork well I did my clutch and didn't lube the fork well enough and now it squeaks!

Same as any other manual transmission - undo the fork, pull out bearing.
I second the well lubing.
