    well il look forward to your response, cos i 100% agree that if it was ok when the old belt was first fitted then surely putting another belt on in the same place will work, but after reading some stories on here its put me off trying, and the fact that they made the tools in the first place clearly shows that you need to do it using them.

    where did you get them for £65?

    What do the tools do then, do they just lock the crankshaft and cam shaft in the right position?
