Hi. I'm from Germany, i did the timing belt a while back. The tools I bought were the pin to block the injection pump, the tool to go in the back of the camshaft and a dial indicator with adapter to check the pump timing. You don't really need the tools to tighten the Crankshaft pulley, if you have a torque wrench that is up to the task. My neighbour had one that goes up to 750nm and is 1,5 metres long! To block the Crankshaft when tightening: Use a chisel, put in in the starter ring of the flywheel and hold it against the transmission bellhousing. Worked for me. Just take care to lign everything up exactly how it's supposed to be and you should end up with a good result. While you're at it, i'd set the valves. Makes the engine so much quieter if it's loud.
