Did mine last week, one of the easiest cam belts I've changed. Took me 2 hours and I was taking my time the cambelt tensioner is self tightening so that makes it even easier. If your mechanically minded I should be easy for you.

Excellent. What kit did you use? Any special tools needed?

Gates belt and tensioner kit and a water pump all you need is basic tools socket set trolley jacks , no pins needed as timing marks are on the block and pulleys really not that bad to do :)
