You can do it on your drive, but it's hard work. You'll need something that'll lift a bit higher than a basic trolley jack to get the clearance. Biggest difference you'll notice between the Ford and scooby (excluding the propshaft) is the weight of the damn thing. Especially when you are trying to line up the shaft with the clutch.
I had my flywheel skimmed by a machine shop in Skewen. Top job and he took as little off as possible.
