locking the cam will prevent this

am I missing something?
You are, so to clarify you don't need a locking tool.
What Mark and grcossie have referred to is a tensioning tool, this is to ensure the belt is at the correct tension, as this is a manual process.
I would also advise you renew the tensioner, which is just as important as the belt itself.
