Default 2010 Fiesta Timing belt due, any tips?

G'day all

I've got a mate who wants me to do a timing belt on his 2010 fiesta. It's a WT model but seems to have the 1.6ltr WS motor in it(so I've been told, I've yet to actual lay eyes on the car)

Regardless, any tips and tricks? I read theres some timing tools needed to find TDC with the crank/lock the cams and lock up the flywheel (for easier balancer removal), and also that the crank bolts are 1 use.

Does that all sound right? Can it be done easily without the tools or do the cams on this motor have a habit of moving/being a ***** to line back up when tensions released?

If the tools are needed, where's the cheapest place to get them for a 1 off use?

Cheers all!
