Having just bought a 97 Kia Pride 1.3i for my daughter, I want to make sure it's in a sound condition before I hand it over. As it's 10 years old and got 46,000 miles on the clock, one of the jobs I have earmarked to do is replace the cam belt; but I haven't found any technical manuals for this model, the closest being an Australian Haynes-type manual on Amazon for the Kia/Mazda/Festiva etc.

Can anyone help me with the finer points of a cam belt change? I have done a couple of these before on Citroen and Peugeot diesels, so all I really need to know is whether special tools are required? Or does the camshaft lock with some standard bolts through the cam wheel into the head a la Peugeot before removing the belt? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
