Clutch swap help

I recently started to burn out my stock clutch and am looking at replacing it. Wondering how much trouble it really is to replace it myself vs taking to a shop. My diy skills are pretty good so Im more trying to gauge how much of a pain it will be rather than if I will actually be able to do it. Any insight would be great.

Its not a fun job. Also tools if you have the right ones. i did my clutch on my MR. Was a learning exp thats for sure. Would have gone quicker with a lift but I i did it on jackstands... Its messy and frustrating but can be done.

It's not fun at all. But I would do it myself because I'd rather save the $1000 in labor compared to taking a day to do it.
