Default SC400 Timing Belt

I've checked the searches and it seems that changing the timing belt is not too difficult. My buddy is a BMW mechanic and has never done one on a Lexus, he's done thousands on German cars but, is a little leary on my car. Any special tools or advice needed ?

Default Maintenance Manuals

Helm manuals are the best in the industry. They are FACTORY authorized manuals, and give the MOST information for any procedure desired. These manuals are not cheap, but for the owner who wants to perform quality maintenance, and keep his dealership visits to a minimum, I recommend HELM.

To get complete coverage on a vehicle, more than one manual may be required. Helm breaks manuals for vehicles down to mechanical, electrical, and body /chassis. A complete set may run in excess of $125.00 in some applications

Helm manuals can be ordered online at: http://www.helminc.com
Be sure to identify the vehicle you drive to assure getting the right manual.

Respectfully,

GSEREP1,

The Helm manuals look very nice. Unfortunately, according to their website, they don't carry manuals for Lexus. Did I miss something?
