This topic has been covered numerious times in TN Camry posts, suggest dong a search and read posts at the bottom of this page. Most Toyotas models (engines) have the same requirements (and tools) to remove their balancer.
To pull the balancer off you need a bolt-on style puller available for sale at tool and autoparts stores or perhaps tool rental locations. For cheap tools (cost and quality) try Habor Freight, they have both stores and mail order sales (do a Google search on their name for website).
As you will most likely only use the tool once, try renting one, or buy the cheapest you can find. Ebay might list them. The tool is not special but it does bolt to the balancer instead of griping it with fingers (as per typical pulling tool).
Not sure on bolt size, your size sounds much to big. Guessing something like 10-12mm diameter. They are standard metric bolts available at hardware stores.
No special tools required to install the pulley.
One issue is holding the pulley when loosening and tightening the pulley bolt. You will need a way to hold the pulley to prevent it from moving. You can use a strap wrench, fabricate a tool that bolts to the pulley (using the holes you attached the puller to) or use and impact air wrench. Some people remove the starter and jam a screwdriver into the ring gear teeth.
