Jeff & Royce's site was a great help when I did mine on my '90. It took a long non-racheting socket handle, 30mm socket, & 2ft cheater pipe to get the HB (crank pulley) nut off, but the socket fit w/o any grinding. We also locked up the tranny by putting it in gear & jamming as hard as we could on the brakes, but there was still a little movement & I don't know how "safe" this method is for drivetrain parts. I didn't do my crank seal, & now I think it's leaking. (damn!)
Besides the oil seals listed, I'd also recommend new alternator bushings (rubber, not urethane) & new belts (belts should be replaced every 4yrs or so). The bushings were actually more trouble to replace than the HB, & IIRC I had to remove the oil filter for access. I also replaced my A/C idler pulley 'cuz I knew the bearings were shot. And for easier headgasket installation, open up the pkg when you get it so it can un-ball itself for a few days.
