You are probably past this point by now. The cams can be moved by hand back to the original position, without harm. Same with the crank. They cannot be moved 360 degrees!!!! Just put them back where they belong.

You can forget about the IPD tool if it slips, you really don't need that thing so long as you know where the alignment marks are.

After the belt is on and the marks look good and the tensioner is doing its thing, take out the spark plugs and turn the engine slowly by hand at least 720 degrees. If there is any resistance, rotate the engine back to the starting point and check all of the marks again, otherwise put the plugs back in and start the engine and let it run for at least 1-2 minutes. This lets you take a look at the belt and you can see if it fits correctly on the rollers.
