Hi. Been two years since I did mine but if remember right any of 2.5 /2.8 /ldv tools will work. Laser brand was made of better metal but thats about all.

Essentially there's three locking pins you need to get before removing timing belt. Two at top engine either side locking cam shafts. Each you'll need to locate screw plug to insert pin. The third you need to remove starter motor to see. If it's never been done you'll probably find yellow plastic plug in pin location point that needs removing. Third pin locks flywheel. Need to remove left top engine mount. Also might find you need new camshaft seals.

2 seals for 2 cam shafts. Maybe wait and see if they're weeping oil. Might still have extra original chrysler seal, I'll see if can find it.
