1999 1.4 8v cam belt question

Hi folks,
I appreciate this one is long in teh tooth now but i wondered if there was a tutorial on doing this job? Is the tensioner change a must ? Is it much of a job on these and will I need any special tools ? I'm pretty handy on the spanners and would have dived straight in but the stick on 172 cambelts made me stop and ask first to see if this little 8v is a pain as well.

Cheers
 
apart from actually adjusting the tensioner, which can be a bit awkward if you don't have the 2 prong tool to fit it, it's very easy

replace the tensioner, and the water pump while you're there
