Changing a Fiesta cam belt
I'm an ex mechanic, been out of the motor trade for 15years, but continued with engineering in industry.
Do I need any special tools for the cam belt change, like locking pins etc? Never done one on a Fiesta, but would like to do it myself to ensure its done properly, and to save a wrecked head.

Well we would always suggest that you use the correct locking pins when carrying out a cambelt change.Other than that a good set of tools is all you need.
(it may be prudent to have a workshop manual present if you are unsure)
