It is poor.
The stiff clutch was a second hand 3 year old acquisition so I cant comment on the abuse it sustained in a previous life. The squeaky thrust bearing car has been with us from new and has been driven reasonably sympathetically. It was just the thrust bearing but if you go in there you might as well treat it to a clutch.
The easiest clutch change I've performed was on an Astra GTE.(Fwd) You could take off a cover plate on the end of the gearbox, pull the mainshaft, unbolt and extricate the clutch through a removable plate on the bellhousing. Instillation in reverse order. Easy peasy :)
