Dang, y'all are making me feel like doing it myself haha. I have the belt but none of the tools. I'm planning on doing the belt and tension bearing.

Since it's a bit less would the steps based on brad's post simply be line up the holes on the cams by pushing it, remove the belt, remove the tensioner bearing, replace everything? Would I still need to remove the spring assembly and the crankshaft nut? Seems ridiculously tough to get off.

Crank nut IS tough to get off if you try to do it without proper tools. With proper tools is easy.

Get some black iron pipe and make extensions for your breaker bars and torque wrench. With 2 people it is easily doable when the tools are correct as Keith says! Radiator out, chain wrench on pulley, piece of cake with an assistant.
