Default Cosworth Camshaft sprocket bolts

Hi fellas any tips for tightening the bolts that hold the sprockets on to the end of the camshafts. I've just changed the camshaft oil seals on my yb for my cortina. I'm building it back up but can't figure how to lock the sprocket so I can tighten the bolt up to the correct torque?? Do you tighten them as much as you can holding the sprocket by hand then put the timing belt on then torque the bolts up ? Cheers in advance !!!

remove head cover first and hold cams on " hexagon " back of gears(24 mm wrench).after use torque wrench.set 55-60 Nm.
