It's not that hard to do, and should only take ~4 hours with normal hand tools.
Heck, if I can do it, anyone can.
See post number 2 on this thread.

Timing is a piece of cake, gear is keyed to the pump (remember the key is unique to the pump). Leave the balancer alone, no need to touch that. The only thing special might be a puller to get the gear off the pump shaft.


Both links are excellent step by step break downs.
