I'd like to know this too. I've read every thread I could find about this job on different forums - some where the owner claimed he did it one-at-a-time without locking the cams and then some other folks say it's vital to use the special tool. My car is a 2000 S.

If anybody knows a DIY writeup w/pics on this subject (I've seen the Pelican one) please post a link.
