Replace crank seal, timing belt, idler and tensioner roller 850 1997

Greetings,
Well, I went back in to replace the idler and tensioner rollers. I noticed some oil near the bottom on the timing belt cover (note, this is after I have cleaned the area, and driven the car about 50 miles). So, I guess that I need to replace the crank seal. How do I go about removing the crank? Once the crank is out, how do I replace the seal? I have replaced a seal on my VW bus, but it was a lot easier to get to.
Will I be able to remove the crank without an impact driver? I do have a small air compressor, so I could maybe borrow the impact tool from a coworker. Also, since I am getting this into the seals, I plan to go ahead and replace the cam seals also. This engine has 243,000 miles, and I don't know when they were last replaced.
This car is not required at this time, so I am not in a rush to get it back on the road, but I really would like to have it running, and my "spare" GEO Metro has no AC, and it's hot around here.

Thanks,
Stuart
