Just find the factory service manual for your vehicle. It will have everything you need, including pictures, step-by-step instructions, and torque specs for the bolts.

BTW: $750 is an ok deal for a timing belt and water pump job, as long as they were going to usa all Toyota OEM parts.

The big suck factor is the crankshaft pulley, off and off!

easily overlooked items needed:
crank pulley holder (you can make one) and; tensioner tool and;
HUGE 75-250ft/lb Torque Wrench (can be rented)

I did it myself because I'm a big believer in if I did it, I know it was done right (even if I'm learning along the way!)

pm if you have questions. i did it in a day... i had a thread around here somewhere on it.
