Re: Timing Set
Worst part of the job you already know about, removing the balancer, even with an impact, they're still a PITA.
You'll need to remove the water pump, remove the oil pan and remove the cover to change the set. Along with a few ther misc. items that may get in your way.
While you have the pan out is pretty well going to answer your life expectancy question, look for shavings in the pan and what not.
And, if your concerned about longevity, now your chance to do something about it. Replace the water pump and anything else of age while your there (crank & cam sensors). Word of caution that you probably already know about, take a lot of time and manually turn the balancer bolt after everything is back together and make sure the vaines of the balancer clear the crank sensor.
