Nope, not difficult at all. I dumped the nuts for those spacers (front motor mount spacers, FWIW) and with the lug nut tool/pry bar from the trunk knocked out that particular clutch job in less than an hour. The added size makes it super easy to get the spacer in the clutch fingers. Once the spacer is in, just pull out one of the "nuts" with a pair of pliers and the other two fall out. Not a challenge.
I see your process, but it takes quite a bit longer than mine. Just remove all six bolts, pry the PP away from the flywheel using any prybar, and slip the "nut" in. Spin the flywheel 120 degrees and repeat twice. You get three equally spaced "nuts" in, slip the spacer into the pressure plate teeth and pull one "nut" out with pliers. All done.
The primary difference between the two approaches is that you're using nuts to act on the pressure plate springs, while I'm using the throwout bearing/slave cylinder. I don't think either one is better - I'm just looking at the time savings.
