Pretty sure Clay liners are set in mortar. Saw a chimney company jack hammer one out for about 2 days. I'd definitely hire someone to do this.

There's a clean out at the bottom and looking up from there, it appears that there's a void between the brick and clay. It's hard to see if there's any supports, but the bottom of the clay is just hanging at the bottom. I'm going to have to get a better look with a camera I think, but it's definitely not encased in mortar.
