i think u have to take the flywheel off to fit it to the stand it goes through the gearbox bolt holes i made a little trolley up and put drilled wood down so i wouldnt fall over but to do the sump and that i waited till i fitted it in the car or u could use an engine hoist like my mate did

You can get them from machine mart for about ?40 (?) as said bolts thry Gearbox holes & you've gotta remove the flywheel, can rotate them thru 360 when mounted with ease ... a wel worth purchace IMO
