Your bottom pulley i.e. "Balancer" has 3 bolts that hold it on to the crankshaft hub, remove those and you should be able to pull it off, might take a little force so don't be scared. Your waterpump drive seal is the top 1 "small", middle is for your Opti and lower one is for your crankshaft. You can replace the top 2 pretty easily, the lower one not soo much if you don't have the right tools. That kit is the right one too... Where's your leak at?

Always had to use a puller to remove the damper. They are really cheap, I bought mine for like 12$? And it works like a charm.

You will also need a hub puller, I use this one http://www.machinemart.co.uk/images/.../040210248.jpg but this is from a site in the UK. You should have no trouble finding this, it goes for 25$ only.

Go on to www.shbox.com and use the cam swap write up as your guide. To swap out the cam you have to remove the timing cover and how to do so is written there in detail.
