renault tools ONLY
(simple explanation)
when you re fit the belt you have the pulleys (crank, and cams) loose, you fit the belt and set the tension, you then rotate the belt and pulleys a few times to equalise the belt tension, then fit the pulley tool and tighten up the pulleys

camber at around -1 to -1.5 will be fine on a road car, toe its up to you
