changing a clutch and pressure plate? how hard on the ground

has anybody attempted to do this with the car on jackstands? was it hard as **** to do or what, i have removed 2 trannys in rx7's but never attempted to change a pressure plate and clutch, i have the know how but is it impossible to do it laying down on the ground under the car? the only thing im worried about is getting the bolt off that is torqued to 350 pounds and then torqueing it back to 350. any hints or advice or if you want to share your story please do so cause i need to get this fixed. thanks guys

If you've removed the transmissions then at least you know what to expect for the bulk of the work. The pressure plate & clutch are easy to remove, 6 14mm bolts I believe.

For the flywheel, I'd try to get access to air tools and get it off that way.

Ive got an extra RB clutch & PP if you're interested.
