I don't think yo need to worry about hoists or jacks. I think most work can be done from the inside.
Richink's post probably has more detail.
Personally, I liked the shape of the JCWitney replacement rockers, affordable and shapped correctly - no sheet metal to screw with. I was going to get the rust out w/ a grinder and install the replacements over the old rockers (mine were so bad, I was afraid to try and remove them).
It seemed that to install them, I really needed to cut out the shape of the door column (the column between the front and back doors), and to remove the front fender (there was a projection that had to go under the fender, otherwise it should have for right over the old ones. Now this was a really old car in fair condition, but with a lot of rust. I didn't care that it look perfect, just that It stopped serving as a route for dust and exhaust to get into the cabin. You probably want your brick to look a bit better.
The instructions I found at the time (this was 1993 - no brickboard yet), suggested that I could weld the new rockers or that I could rivet them on and use bondo to cover the rivets. The later suggestion was not very appealing.
I never did decide how to proceed, I was a very poor college student with a very old car and life intervened before I got around to it. This brick was consigned to a junkyard after it threw a rod in the service of my father. Gotta keep oil in them - or else.
