You're close; three! But the number of belts isn't the issue. The challenge is that when the primary belt is released, all four camshafts move. Two sprockets then have to be held in a precise position (against valve spring force) whilst the new belt is threaded around the water pump, idler wheel, crankshaft and hydraulic tensioner. Trying to do that single-handed using Tippex marks really is a folly.
