That is a very brave thing to do.
I watched V6 CDX doing mine last week and was a massive job.
Good Luck brave person :y :y

A new auxillary/fan belt would be a good idea while you have the old one off, they're a PITA to change, especially at the road side.

Yes, the timing gauge is important; don't rely on the cutouts on the rear cover. The full kit is: Locking tool for cams 1 and 2, locking tool for cams 3 and 4, crank lock, belt wedge, timing gauge.

If you go to Halfords for a set of E sockets, you'll have to get the E20 separately, which you will need to turn the crank.

Get the 'how to' DVD (£3) and watch it a few times before you do the job. I made notes (such as that there is a notch in the crank pulley; it will only fix one way) while watching it too.

To do: Replace brake discs and pads; adjust already replaced shoes; check for leaks in oil cooler, cambelt area, crank seals, sump, dipstick; replace osf door; replace a tyre; clean, MOT.
