You do not need any tools for setting the cam timing.
If you note the timing marks on the rear pulleys in "safe" position, that is where the factory set it, that is where it must be with the new belts fitted.
Simple. And if you have never changed belts before it will be the factory setting!

The front pulley is just a driving pulley the cam timing setting is determined by the two sets of rear pulleys. Take a pick of the marks before you start the work and let us see.

There is no need to disturb the front pulley at all.
