That's the kit I used.

It should not take all day =) If your friend done timing belts before he'll be do just fine. It's similar on all cars.
But, I suggest you buy stuff divided, unless you really want to change those seals. That will be 3 times more complicated rather then just replacing the belt and pump alone. You will need Crank blocking pin for sure, and something to hold the cam sprokets when tightening the bolts.
Without seals it's easy, almost impossible to do wrong. =)

Are we talking about the same seals? There are 4 of them for each side... Strange that your timing belt was not serviced at the same time.
Well, then you don't need to worry about anything. Your friend just got to take everything apart, mark the sprockets and count belt teeth between marks, then install new belt at the same position with the same teeth interval. Then Rotate engine by hand few times (spark plugs out) and check marks again. You can ignore all special tools manual says to get, except for the 32mm key or something to unscrew the cooling fan.
