Well fitting a cambelt is not for the DIY guy thats for sure, you really would benefit from past experience, don't do the job properly, crank the engine, bend the valves. job well done there. Think thats the point TJG was making.

Fitting a cambelt is for the DIY guy.

You only need a half decent socket set, at most a few other inexpensive tools.
