Default Yes, just did a 2.8 12V....

There is two tools you need. One to lock the Cams in place. Two, to lock the Crank in place. Its recommand that you do the Water pump at the same time. I suggest the thermastat (sp?) too because the housing is behind the timing belt and its only a $15.00 part. My thermastat went bad a week later and I couldn't get to it without tearing it a part. They say it can be done without teardown but its a big pain in the a..<p>Tools run about $150-$200. If you are intrested lets me know I be willing to sell them. I'll never use them agian. I hope <p>

Why would you spend $200 for the tools when they will change the belt for $249 and guarantee the work.

Well, you spend $200 ONCE. OR you can spend $249 everytime you have it done.
