So, other than getting the RH cam tool (just ordered) and getting the crank pulley bolt off. this is a fairly straight forward belt change? Just replace, belt, pulleys/bolts, Thermostat, Water pump, tension-er...
Also, sounds like a good idea at 110k to replace upper and lower radiator hoses, belts(again) and thing else prone to failure i should get ahead of?
This car has been great, i get on it from time to time but generally don't abuse it.

Yes that is how i got the bolt loose did not have access to air to use my air tools and bolt would not budge at all so had to improvise and worked out.The job is pretty straight forward.

AC idler pulley is only ~$30 for an all metal gates or duralast (re-branded Gates); could be your squeak or just good to do while its all apart. If it fails, it can take out the timing belt covers as the belt shreds. Agree should also do stat and coolant. Oreilly or AZ rent a cam holder tool, IIRC.
Perhaps a lightweight crank pulley for bling and powah (lol).
