Default get a manual

get a repair manual from LEXUS and it gives you setp by step, not that hard, the hardest part is loosening and tighten the crank pulley bolt. ive done 2 lexus tbelts and several other vehicles.

Default no need to lift engine

no need to lift the engine. just pay attention to what your doing, torque everything, seal it right, and make sure you put every bolt back on and you'll be fine.

PS GREAT time to change your waterpump, pullies, thermostat, dist. cap, rotors.
