Default exhaust camshaft seal replacement

My wifes S40 is leaking oil at the exhaust cam. Is that afairly straight forward repair changing the belt and oil seal ,and is there anything special Ishould be aware of ? I just did my S80's timing belta month ago in the driveway so I've already had a little fun with the line. The cam sprocket seems like it is a complicated mechanism. Do I just take out the torx head and it comes right off or....? Give be the blow-by-blow. Thanks

It is a real pain.
I would leave it to someone that has done it many times before.

I hate doing them it will take you about 6 to 8 hours to get it done if it is the first time.
