Thanks guys, thought they would cost a arm and a leg from Toyota. $120's not bad.
And yeah I'm going to replace the belt and tensioner while I'm at it.
But you wouldn't believe how incredibly hard it was to get the crank bolt off.
The lists of things I tried includes
power bar + stater motor Y tool to hold the crank + powerbar with extension and 2 people on each end pulling (4 people in total). 180psi rattle gun from a tire shop (which they use to remove truck bolts).
I had to take it to my mechanic to help me after that, they tried
special hammer tool used to get bolts off oxy acetylene + hammer tool oxy acetylene + starter
in the end we put the car up on a hoist, opened up the hole in the gearbox shoved a giant crow bar into the flexy plate. got the nut nearly red hot with oxy acetylene and hug off the nut with a power bar yes the bolt supported a bouncing growen male for a few moments before it decided to finally come out.
What a mission, my mechanic said that was the hardest crank bolt they've ever tried to get off.

When they sell me a water pump is it just the front pumping assembly or the whole thing? as my water pump is leaking from the rear not the actual pump (front half)
