Default 85 flywheel replace?

How involved is it to change out a fly wheel on an 85 5 speed? Probably not so much if I had a lift and experience but I'll only have my harbor freight and the list... Any thoughts?

first of all, why do you want to change out a flywheel? dont say weight!

you can do the entire clutch job under the car in a couple of hours if you are fast.
the clutch job, will end up at one point with the flywheel totally available to be removed. you must have the star sockets though they are torqued pretty tight too. 50ftlbs or something.
remove them and the flywheel drops right down. you can now change it out, resurface it, and or change the rear main seal.

No there's one for sale I looked at today that at one point someone spent alot of time and effort on, but the current owner is kid, the interior is trashed,he claims he's been pop starting it, does live on hill though. I could probably steal it from him but I'm not really sure of my skills ---someone should know this car red 85 with a transparent blue powder coated organ- last owner in MA.
