Concur. What you can also do is to rotate the engine by hand once you have the fan shroud and the plastic cover off (use a wrench on the crank end) till your marks line up on the cam gears and on the crank. Mark em for visibility (but they wont move anyway). Thats when you remove the old belt and replace whatever needs replacing. When putting the new belt back on, I use a cable tie to secure it to each cam gear and then go straight down to the crank then back around the idler and water pump. That way, nothing should be able to shift on you while you are working on the engine. Once the belt is on and is tensioned, you can move the crank with the wrench again, and can check the alignment of the timimg marks.
