Clay liners are typically just stacked and laid in place while brick goes up surrounding them. I’ve done a few stainless liners- the upper termination just sits on top of existing chimney. The pain in the ass part is getting into the side of the flue down low- you need a good hammer drill with chisels to slope the flex liner up and to mortar around the liner, setting a termination ring in place, you need your wye fitting to the two appliances to be at a safe height above both appliances and you should not use appliance with powered vent when the other is natural draft- ask a plumber if they will let you snake the liner and have them do everything in the basement.

Yeah neither has a powered vent, they are natural draft. The clean out door on bottom seems adequate to fit a 5" liner but I was planning on feeding from the roof and have someone pull the rope from the bottom. Did you pull up from the bottom?

Fed down from the top. 5" stainless flex fits easily through clay flue no matter how sloppy the mason was.
