The plunger is part of the slave cyl, and isn't actually attached to the clutch fork. The fork has a small divot/dent/recess that slave cyl shaft just sits in.
Unbolt the two bolts on the bell housing, and the slave will(should) just swing away. You may have to "pop" the plunger out of the fork if it's stuck in.

take time
Take your time with it. Be very careful to "press" the new pilot bearing into the crankshaft all the way. Also, be careful when centering the clutch as it seems simple, but does need to be accurate. Don't skip on the torque wrinch. Take care of the hydraulic lines. My clutch install was one of the most rewarding things that I have done, thought I did an auto to manual swap at the same time.

I did mine this weekend best thing I have done so far, my truck feels new again.
at the same time I replaced the rear main seal oil pan gasket and fuel filter.
also either replace or get your flywheel resurfaced best 35$ bucks spent.

Consider taking it to a tranny shop now that it's out. Just the fact that they don't have to pull it or reinstall it will save you some serious bank.
There's a shop in austin that does a flat fee rebuild for $250 + parts.
