Timing belt change questions

I searched and couldn't seem to find the information. It all seemed to be for older cars.

I'm changing my timing belt myself. I've never done this before but their has to be a first for everything. I am going out to buy the parts this is what I plan on getting below, is their anything else i need? I just rolled 60k miles

Tension tool from dsmparts.com 68.95
7 bolt water pump Mentor: 101.72
Mitsu timing belt Mentor: 56.98
tensioner pulley Mentor: 21.95
idler pulley SBR (couldn't find on mentor's site): 35
Tensioner Adjuster: 54.09
Balance Shaft belt Mentor - 21.77
Balance Shaft Tensioner Mentor - 29.33
Gatorback P/S + A/C Belt - 18.99 autozone
Alternator Belt 17.99 Autozone.

I planned on using the following instructions http://vfaq.com/mods/timingbelt-2G.html

What is the following tool? The instructions don't mention it and do I need it? DSM Timing Belt Tensioner Pulley Socket http://www.dsmparts.com/customer/pro...t=&page=1#tabs
Is that just this: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/cranktool.html

I don't have air tools of any kind (I have a air wratchet but not a big enough compressor) So Im on my own. I have a torque wrench that goes as low as 20 ftlbs I realize I'll need something to get the small torque settings like 2-5 ftlbs range

Right now I think im around 430 + shipping for everything. If you know of somewhere cheaper for something let me know.

Btw when I'm all done the tool is free for loan if you pay shipping and have a rep around here that I can trust I'd get it back
