Make sure you get the right sized torx bit for the tensioner bolt, as it has a habit of shearing the torx teeth.
Also, you might need a cam locking tool, as the exhaust cam sits nicely at tdc, but the inlet cam doesn't and needs to be held in position when fitting the belt.

do the rollers and tensioner aswell
just fitted the new belt, rollers & such to mine earlier, tbh, is quite straight forward & easy following the haynes manual.
you will need an E18 socket for the crank pulley bolt, get one on a 1/2" drive and whack a breaker bar on it... you can't get E18's from halfords contrary to belief, so be worth finding a local snapon dealer or find somewhere you can get a draper one...
