Toyota 5VZ-FE Cam Seal and Crank Seal Driver

Description
I started having my CAM seals start leaking on my 3rd Gen 4Runner. This has the 3.4L V6 (5VZ-FE). This engine is found in a bunch of vehicles such as the Tundra, Tacoma, T-100, and the 4Runner. I didn't want to buy a seal driver kit nor did I have a big enough socket so I 3D printed these custom seal drivers that perfectly fit and allow you to drive the seals in without damaging them.
This is a bigger job. So at the same time since I was already there, I did the Crank Seal, the timing belt, and the water pump. I used this guy off of eBay (AirCabinMan Auto Parts Supplier) and he sold a full Toyota OEM parts kit with everything needed to change out all the parts that you can and should replace while you're in there and it was a lot cheaper than the dealership parts prices. Made it headache-free. Highly recommend.
The Seal drivers held up very well. I just used a dead blow to tap the back side of them in. Make sure to use a little oil on them to get them to go in. There a bunch of YouTube videos with DIY info if you're looking for directions
