Default First time installing clutch shoes

So the clutch on my HPI Firestorm broke so I got an integy aluminum one off ebay (Integy site link). I got it and I realize that Ihave no clue what i'm doing. Could someone walk me through how to do this? The stock clutch was a wrap around spring, but this one has the mouse trap springs. I don't have a clutch tool, and I don't really want to buy one just for this.

Are you trying to take off your current flywheel or do the clutch shoes go onto it?

I actually got it, but that video was just what i needed. Thanks!

And one more thing. Should the pilot not be tightened as much as I can tighten it?
