2 bolts for the slave, one on top visible in the diagram at 17 and one on the bottom. Plus a bolt for the hose bracket at 12.

It’s pretty easy to me but I have done it before. Jack stands should be fine though less convenient than a lift obviously. Depressing the piston takes a little force as does holding it especially while you tighten and loosen the bleed. I doubt you will run the reservoir too low but you could top it off after every couple of depressions from which noticeable fluid comes out. The fluid is messy. Ideally you have a hose on the bleed nipple looping over into a container. Even harder for one person to manage alone but I have done it. If you do this sequence 4-5 times that is sufficient. Most important thing is to hold slave so bleed nipple is at top since that is where the air will be.
