I am probably going to start replacing my opti tomorrow. I am still waiting on the new water pump, but figure I should do what I can when I can.

One thing to add. That link says you need a puller to remove the lower pulley from the hub, you don't. The pulley is a slip fit onto the hub, but rust gets between the two and locks it on. Soak it with penetrating oil. Then take a length of 2x2 wood, and from under the car, put it against the back of the pulley and whack the block with a hammer, working side to side. Once you wire brush the rust off both parts, the pulley will slide right back onto the hub. And, are you going to replace the water pump timing chain cover seal? I posted a how-to on that procedure.

Yes, you do.
For the water pump seal, did you make your own installation tool or buy one?
