Its not hard, but like was said, time consuming dirty and you need some strength to bench press that thing back into place since the t-case is attached. I think the special tool they cited is for pull-style clutches. If you have a push-style clutch no special tools are necessary. Instead of a tranny jack I did my clutch once with an assortment of ratchet straps to lower the tranny down. A few through the shifter hole and around the trans and a few across the frame rails supported the trans. You do not need to replace the flywheel just have it resurfaced. Should cost you $45 at an automotive machine shop. I used capclutch.com for my clutch parts. OEM Japan brands and cheap. Just go slow use your brain and you will be fine. If possible, do it with all 4 tires on the ground for safety and minimize how far you have to lift the trans on reinstallation. You will need PB blaster for exhaust components in the way.
