Thanks Steve, I see the reference now. I've dug out my notes and I removed the camshaft sprockets because I wanted to see how the "floating" mechanism worked (it's invisible from the front) but otherwise there's no reason to undo the sprocket bolts to set the belt tension.
I then refitted the sprockets with the bolts hand tight, laced the belt with locking tools in place and set the tensioner pulley according to INA's instructions. Finally tighten the sprocket bolts to the specified torque before removing the locking tools. But there really is no advantage in loosening the sprocket bolts as the toothed wheel will move about 15˚ anyway and loosening them won't increase this.
