as said you don't need a locking tool when changing these cambelts, just make sure it is lined up at tdc before you take the old belt off

Easiest engine in the world to do, when putting back together just make sure cam pointers are pointing at 3 o'clock exhaust cam and 9 o'clock inlet so pointing towards each other in line with the join between r/cover and head, crank is at TDC, don't forget the phase sensor.
