Apparently it's not difficult, though I can't find a walk-through either. I am going to be changing mine tomorrow, God willing I can do it myself.

Disconnect the battery first. DON'T FORGET THIS!

The upper-inside bolt can be tough to get to if you've never done it before. A 3/8's ratchet with long extensions and a u-joint make it much easier, I've read. You get to the two upper bolts from below. The upper-outer bolt has a nut on it, too.

Another piece of advice I've read - the two upper bolts both hold brackets for the clutch line, so be sure to take a good look at how those brackets line up in relation to the bolts and the bell housing. It isn't completely obvious how it will all go back together if you didn't see it before it came apart.

It's cramped quarters, but can be done from below; just get the car as high as you can. Some manuals recommend taking off the intake manifold, which might make it easier to get to the starter, but that of course is more work.


Update: Yes, it IS easy to change it yourself. I did mine in about an hour or so, WITHOUT taking off the intake manifold. I simply put my Miata up on ramps, and got to it from below.
