Has anyone replaced a camshaft oil seal?

Has anyone replaced a camshaft oil seal?
I recently located an oil leak that I have been searching for. It seems to be a bad camshaft oil seal (near the timing belt sprocket). Since I just had the timing belt done by the dealer 6 months ago, I would rather do it myself. Is there any things I should watch out for when I do this?

If I were you, I'd go ahead and replace it while it's off even though it's not old. It's worth $22 to get another 6 months use out of the car.
The seals are cheap. Do the crank seal and both cam seals. It's best to do them when you do the timing belts...too late now though.
The flat side of the spring goes out. Push it only flush with the outside of the head or it push in too far and leak.
