Default 96 Explorer Sport 2wd 5sp V6 clutch change

I have a 96 Explorer Sport SOHC V6 5sp 2wd. The clutch went out and won't engage. Have the clutch kit with the plate and throw out bearing and also the slave cylinder from AutoZone. Ive never done this before and need some helpful advice. What tools do i need? How do I take everything apart and replace the old parts with new parts? Does anyone have any diagrams, pictures or videos that could help? Anything would be useful and I appreciate any help I can get.

Right from the start, you need some special tools. A floor jack to hold the trans when you are ready to remove the trans.
DOT3 hydraulic brake fluid to refill the clutch master cyl when ready to bleed the system.
Some vehicles will have an "X" mark on the flywheel and clutch pressure plate to minimize any vibration problems.

I would strongly suggest you do as much reading and learning as you can before starting the job.
