Right. Sorry, I mis-read your post.... I replaced the WP with OEM and left the rest of the Gates kit in. The TB and the rest of the components looked new except for the coolant stains!! When I do the TB/WP job on my sons' car this Spring, I'll go OEM on the pump.

No worries. Good to hear the rest of the kit is still working. I'm going on 35k miles on mine. Hoping it goes the full distance too!

As per link:
1998 Toyota 4Runner. #9010516031: BOLT (FOR CRANKSHAFT PULLEY SET). BOLT
9010516031
Be sure to use Loctite and torque it to spec 213 ft lbs
I was lucky enough to have the engine out of the truck when I did my job and, wow, was it hard to get the torque.

The PO of mine had a shop do it and they used a DAYCO kit. Wouldn't have been my first pick but I really don't know much about DAYCO. It's fine so far but it only has 7k miles on it.
Ordered the ebay kit as well with all toyota parts.
What extra parts or "shop supplies" are also needed to complete the job?
Ordered a seal puller -- What's needed to install new seals other than press? Grease of some kind?
Ordered new crank bolt -- Need thread locker. What brand/strength?
New Aisin water pump -- Just use Aisin gasket in kit?
Ordered pulley holder -- Plan to try (in order) impact, breaker bar, bump starter.
Trans fluid to replace any lost in disconnect.
New coolant after radiator reinstall.
Any other supplies that are commonly forgotten until your elbow deep in the project?

Normal stuff. I would degrease the engine first.
There's no press needed. You need a way to hold the camshaft sprockets when you loosen the bolts. I used a chain wrench and wrapped the sprockets with the old timing belt.
The new bolt comes with threadlocker on it
Yep. The aftermarket WP comes with those crappy paper gaskets. Took me 45 minutes to scrape the old sealant and gasket off the engine. Had to use a wire wheel and that was MUCH easier. The Aisin metal with the sealant bonded to it is so much nicer.
I recently found a special socket which is much heavier and creates more inertia with an impact and is suppose to work pretty good. It's made by Lisle. I think it was mentioned in this thread.
You wont lose a lot. Maybe a pint. Just top off what you lost.
I would do this. HOAT brand Toyota red or pink or the Zerex Asian. Pep Boys sells "OEM" aftermarket stuff that I used before.
I would replace the little oring on the oil dipstick tube. If your radiator has more than 125000 miles, I would replace that too
When I did my water pump, the old water pump was OEM Aisin with the proper rubber bonded metal gasket. The rubber still fused with the engine block and required some scraping. Probably because of the heat and time. Still better than those crappy paper gaskets or silicone sealants though.

Actually, the OEM pump, while made by AISIN, was made with a channel in the pump flange which was filled with FIPG sealant when installed. The AISIN/TOYOTA replacement pumps were that way for a while. Then Toyota redesigned it around 2010 I think, as it leaked like a sieve and AISIN made the rubber/metal gasket version as OEM replacement.
The FIPG was a pain. Good riddance.

My kit from aircabinman came in the mail today. Everything looks great, so count me as recommending this kit: TIMING BELT KIT WATER PUMP Genuine & OE Manufacture Parts! 3.4 V6 15 PIECES
Here's what arrived (along with an OEM air filter I ordered):
