Have you done any research looking for DIY tips for the timing belt job?
Just a brief session of Googling turned up a couple of DIY procedures, both of which emphasized that the crank bolt removal was a bit of a job, even when using a specialty tool to keep the pulley from turning. They gave the impression that it might be nigh impossible to do it without such a tool.
