Question about locking tools

[dr16]

Cars at the garage at the moment, having cambelt + dephaser and couple of other things done. I was concerned about the garage having the right locking tools for the job, asked them and they said they had the kit. Have dealt with them alot and theyr pretty good.

However, mechanic (who said it would take a day to do the work) has called and said he does not have the tool to change the dephaser pulley but can get it tomorow. As i understand, the dephaser pulley tool is part of the locking kit. Does this mean he does not have the correct renaultsport locking tools?
Is the dephaser pulley a seperate part of the kit from the locking tools themselves? As in, could he have the correct locking tools but simply misplaced/lost track of the dephaser tool ? thanks

Dephaser is not a servicable part, only gets changed when broken.

So it won't be part of the cambelt tool kit.

Well thats my educated guess anyway.

Sounds like he doesn't have the third tool (which is the one no-one has) which locks the inlet and exhaust cams. It is only availible from Renault themselves.

Yes this is what i mean, it may not be a tool that is used directly on the dephaser pulley it may just be a tool that enables the dephaser pulley to be changed by locking things in place.
Is this third tool the renaultsport specific one then? And even though he is getting the correct tool tomorow, if he has already stripped it down to put the new cam belt / dephaser on without the third locking tool does this mean timing problems/im fecked?

No its not renaultsport specific, he won't have any problems going this far without using the pulley locking tool but he needs it to slacken the exhaust pulley nut and the dephaser pulley bolt off to allow the new belt to be fitted properly.
