I've replaced the timing belt myself on my '97 Es300 before, how different is it to change the timing belt on an 2005 Es330?

I'm assuming changing the belt on a 3mz is not too much different on a 1mz, am I right?

Also, i've read the Timing belt Procedure and i'm a little confused on one step.

Before the timing belt is removed, it says to "Turn the crankshaft pulley counterclockwise to 60 degrees."
Then it also says again to "Turn the crankshaft pulley counterclockwise to 60 Degrees" after the timing belt is off...
Does the 60 degress "reset" after I un-tension the timing belt?

I've never done this to my '97 Es300, do I only have to do this if i'm removing the camshaft?
I don't plan on changing the seals, just the timing belt, idler, tensioner and water pump..

Can I skip "turning crankshaft 60 degrees" step if i'm not removing the camshaft?
