tool kit for timing belt job
I thought that I had seen websites with package deals with all the tools needed for a proper timing belt job, can someone link me to a site with a good priced and good quality kit for sale. Thanks!

2nd on the arnnworx! just buy the kit, you'll be happy. flywheel lock, pin and offset tensioner wrenches, balance belt tensioner, and the ever so cool timing belt tensioner. Worth every penny.

...so how is it that the arnnworx tensioner is ~$150 and every other tensioner out there is $500? Doesn't make sense to me...is it merely due to the simple fact that mechanics will be willing to pay $500? To justify charging so much on a timing belt swap?

Well to put it simply, the 920x is a custom made and engineered piece that was developed by Bruce Arnn as an alternative to the $500 9201 tool from Porsche. I have used it and its just as good, if not easier to use than the 9201.
