Do i need cam locking tools to do a cambelt change on 07 wrx with vvt?
Thanks in advance.

Ideally yes but there are other ways of locking them... bulldog clips are useful IMO to lock the belt onto the pulleys.

Thanks Duncan, do you mean to lock the new belt mark on the inlet pulley's first then do the rest?

looking at the front of the engine you can get the belt on crank pulley first then the left side and in place on there easy enough as they rotate freely. Put a bulldog clip on each left pulley to stop them jumping just in case. Route the belt round the idlers etc and then using an allen socket line up the right hand pulleys to the marks on the belts (easiest to do the bottom/exhaust one first)
