Cam sprocket has to come off so you can undo the cam cover from the head as well as thermo housing

 

Dipstick too which bolts to back of the head

Brilliant thank you.

Make sure you have the sprocket locked as without the cambelt you turn only the head and eventually the valves will hit a piston and it is possible to bend them

Without a locking tool I will have to try your method.

 

Is there a thread on here that deals with future cambelt and/or alternator belt changes?

If you do be carefull to get it locked without to much movement way from the timing marks, you can turn the bottom back too but you have to try match the amount 

 

A long breaker bar and a sharp quick pull upwards can be enough to take the pressure off so you can do it with a 1/2" by hand but make sure the cams not gonna spin before you do

 

I think there is a cambelt thread, youll need to jack the cam side of the engine up to remove the lower pulley to fit the belt as it fouls the chasis leg. Might aswell do the waterpump if your doing the belt
