I am about to change the timing belt on a 02/2006 Ford Fiesta manual. German Assembled model with 163,000km on the clock. I have changed timing belts on toyotas and hondas before and yes I know it can be a pain.
Any constructive tips about the job- tensioners etc. ?
Are there any special tools required?
Is there anything else to look for or be aware of?

It is getting a kind of major service. I will be changing the two outside belts, heater hoses, radiator coolant and radiator hoses, air filter, and oil change at the same time.

Thanks
William
