Special Tool
The only special tool you will need, besides the tensioner, is a fixed wrench that can adjust the tensioners while another wrench tightens the set bolt. You can buy a cheapie wrench and bend it yourself like I did (heat before bending). A standard socket wrench can be used to tighten the set bolt while it is held by the offset wrench. Turning the set bolt will move the tensioner so you have to restrain it.
I would change the balance shaft belt also. If it were to break, it could get into the cam belt and cause serious head damage.
As far as the other wheels are concerned you could listen to them with a stethoscope and see if they are noisy. Or you could use the shotgun approach and replace them all. Whatever makes you happy....
I change my belts every year because car is track car.
