4kq clutch & Spokane Shops

[Nathan Ray]

Greetings Q-listers,
It appears that the original clutch on my trusty old 4kq has finally died. The release/throwout bearing started to get noisy a couple weeks ago and has gotten progressively worse; any pressure on the clutch pedal at all causes the low rumbing sound of the bearing internals getting ground up. 
 
I normally do all the repair work on this myself, but I'm a little concerned with how I'll be able to reinstall the transmission supporting it only with a floor jack. I looked up the shop that I've gotten help from in that past that was owned by a Quattro guru but it looks like he has sold out and retired. So, I'm looking for help with 3 things:
 
1. Any BTDT suggestions on at-home transmission reinstall. I'm not sure how to balance the gearbox properly without spending hours making a cradle for it. 
2. Any suggestions on an affordable mechanic in the Spokane, WA area that is well versed with old quattros. 
3. I presume that I should also replace the guide sleve for the throwout bearing and the pilot bearing as well. Any other items that I should be replacing? What size bolts are used to attach the pressure plate to the flywheel? I like to replace bolts whenever possible and It's easiest to get them on a week day before I start the job on a weekend. 
 
Thanks,
