Crank pulley, need a breaker bar about a meter long, put the car in 5th gear with handbrake on. Worked for me. You will also need a crank pulley remover tool thingy.

Crank pulley, Loosie on the ground or chassis, an extention pipe over Loosie's handle usually does the trick and turn the key. (oh Loosie is what I call my breaker bar)

Rattle gun for the cam pulley.

Undoing the bolts is the hard part.

Have you got a FSM?

To remove the camshaft pully you put a screwdriver in a hole around cylinder No.2 of the camshaft. Hold it still while you use a spanner to undo the bolt.
