Only special tool needed is the inner cam bearing puller, and you can rent that for free from AutoZone.........it's called the Blind Spot Puller.

A press comes in handy also to press out the stock bearings in the cam plate, put the gears on the cams, put the bearings on the cams, and to put the bearings into the cam plate.

Torque wrenches...............service manual.

That's about it.

You really don't need any special tools to remove the old stuff. Unwind the tensioners with a large pair of pliers and hold them out with an appropriate sized hex key. You are getting rid of them anyway.

Installing is another matter. You need the tools. I hope you are able to find some. Sorry I can't help with that.
