It can be done up on ramps or axle stands but not much room to manoeuvre.

Totally agree, for the time it take's to get one of these out.

Also, guess it would be pretty damned hard / impossible if you have head studs as opposed to bolts...?

It's been likened to "tryng to wallpaper your hallway through your front door's letterbox"...

While you have the engine out it may well be worth fitting a new clutch if it is old/high miles on it.
