can be done without any locking tool HAYNES manual procedure  :y.been done on many vectras with the same engine.caution! id check the condition of the waterpump while your there because it can fail and snap the belt in the future ,for about £30 for a new pump i would change it as a matter of course,it has happened to me .

I'd recommend doing the water pump too. Seeing as you've got the belt off it's worth doing for peace of mind. When I do the belts on the Omega and the Astra they'll both get new pumps.
