Default Timing Belt Replacment how-to

Two question areas:

1. The kits they show on Ebay include crankshaft and camshaft seals. Are those generallly a standard replacment maintenace item? Does anyone have some instructions for removal and replacment? Easy or hard?

2. Anyone have instructions or a how-to for replacing the water pump, timing belt and serpentine belt. I aussme you take out the radiator and go from there.

Here's the kit I was looking at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...Q5fAccessories

Thanks, Al

I think the GX is identical in most respects to the LS 400 and LS 430 I have done.
