Saw a video on Youtube, on how to replace the timing belt on a LS430 which i think its the similar engine as the Gs400! the guy used a big allen wrench to remove the idler attached to the tensioner piston... but he didn't mention what size it was! Do you by any chance know what am talking about and provide me with size?

This is what I just got. Pricey but it's a big kit

I put the Amazon Aisin timing belt kit on my 3UZ and I couldn't be happier with it. The Lexus technician said it went on perfectly and it got rid of some noise in my engine bay (I bought a 2001 with 69k miles, no timing belt service).
I'd recommend the Aisin TKT-021 kit instead of the TKT-001 (the one you linked to), The difference is the hydraulic tensioner and $20. The person doing the timing belt job is going to reuse your tensioner if you don't get a new one, so why not pay the extra $20 and get one that's brand new on your baby?
