I just got the '13-'14 stock kit of LMR which has clutch plate, flywheel, all the bolts, etc. I added a new pilot bearing and throw out bearing. Super happy with the setup. I'd add a Stainless Steel line while everything is apart.

Be advised, if you are doing the install yourself, be prepared for a fight with the pilot bearing. All known pullers in my shop were tried and none would grip or even fit to get the bearing AND its included housing out.

Actually, bearing itself pulled out. The metal housing its pressed into which is then hammer fit into the crankshaft is a complete MFer to get out.

We resorted to filling the void with chassis grease and using a Matco 1/2" impact extension as essentially a "piston". "Hydraulic pressure" applied to the grease by hammering the extension into the void popped the housing out. Took several tries but it eventually worked.

I was really upset at Ford that day. BUT the Ford Racing HD pilot bearing really is a beefy upgrade.

If you've actually burned the clutch out, either have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced, new clutch assembly, and fresh hydraulic fluid.

edit:
Might want to take a look at the rear crank bearing/seal, too.

Thanks for the heads up lt, I also noticed the workshop manual mentioned a special tool to remove the piot. Looking for a rental now.

The ford workshop manual says no bueno on resurface for my MY, so bought a new one. What’s all included in the clutch assembly? What is your recommended fluid?

I'm not super particular about fluids, so, if it were me, I'd just put some fresh factory recommended fluid in it and call it a day. The clutch assembly is the clutch discs, pressure plate, that steel plate that fits between the discs (can't remember what it's called), and the throwout bearing.

Update, RXT in and I’m loving it, a bit more firm on the pedal is my downside. The upside is no slip and getting all that power down again, wow, I’m awake now ;)

Ever used bread to get one out?

I've used thick wheel bearing grease, but it's the same thing BJ's bread does. Fill the pilot hole with grease or bread in the other example and use a suitable sized punch to beat on that the grease can't get around. The hydraulic pressure will push the pilot bearing out. I've used this numerous times.

Actually we did try that, used grease but the seal tolerance was not small enough so it was a fail

Probably the grease is not thick enough or the tool you were using to compress the grease wasn't of sufficient diameter. Stuffing bread into the hole probably returns the bread to dough and may work with less tolerences.
