I just recently did mine. I bought the shim measuring tool on AMAZON for 12 euros, its invaluable!

You will also need a decent micrometer, better eyesight than me and time to check you work.

Belts are a piece of cake, just get all the dots aligned and go for it.

the only part which is a PITA is holding the valve up whilst you remove/re-fit the closer shim. I used a small magnent on some duct tape to hold the valve up and stop it dropping into the cylinder (see pik). Keep the piston at TDC so if it does drop it doesnt disapear.

Its all easier than it sounds or when you read the how-to. Its Labourious but totally doable.

Chris kellys videos are worth watching afew times too.
