cambelt change time

Hi,

I,m in the process of changing the cambelt on my v6, along with a few more parts while most of the top half of the engine is dismantled!

Have got as far as removing the main belt, and reading a lot of members comments about removing the camshaft end cap seals and the fact they pop off or leak, plus the fact there is very little room to tap or hammer them back in!
I was going to leave them alone, but my query is how do i use the locking tools without removing the caps as the sprockets have moved slightly after removing the belt?

Also referring to the excellent thread by beinet1 and the procedure for fitting/adjusting the tensioner pulley states the sprocket bolt s need to be loose, again, some members state they didnt remove the bolts and not sure why the need to be to fit tensioner pulley?

Many thanks.Steve.
