There seems to be a lot of over complicating of a fairly simple task.
I didn't need any locking tools, these would only be needed in the case of major surgery. All that is being done is
Rotate engine to TDC
Remove Aux Belts(Alternator/Power steering)
Remove belt cover
Take pressure from tensioner pulley and lock with nut.
Remove belt
Replace belt(line up marks)
Release tensioner nut to tension belt and re tighten nut
And put everything back together.
