Check out the manuals in the General Discussion. The 9 is similar if not exactly the same as the zx7's, or the 600 ninja's. As mentioned, keep things clean and organized and soak the new plates. Welcome to KF.

Make sure you torque the spring bolts pretty consistently with each other, too. Don't just wonk on the ratchet handle.
As mentioned, keep work area clean. Same goes for clutch cover mating surfaces; clean, oil-free, (but don't use abrasives or gouge the surfaces when removing old seal) let the sealant set an hour or so before you final tighten.
You don't need a manual; you've got US!!!

I have a manual in front of me on the 02 9r. The clutch section is 10 pages. So I can give you specs or special tools if needed.
