Default Cambelt change

Do I need the two tools which lock the cams to change the cambelt, if so where can I buy them from?

Mark,
No you don't, if it's the belt on the new engine you're fitting, so long as the marks are lined up it's fairly easy to fit the belt, the exhaust cam on the offside will need to be held quite well, as they always want to move, i always turn the engine over slowly by hand (socket and long bar!) to check all the markers after a few revolutions..... takes me about 2 hrs to do one from scratch... in the car! out on a stand/floor should be a lot easier...

Right, fitted the cam belt and lined up all the marks etc, now how many times does it need to rotate before the lines all match again?
