It is described in the repair manual pointed at in Links (I should stop replying to each topic with this phrase...). I have not tried it yet, but will possibly do next autumn.

The haynes manual gives is a 3 spanners difficulty (out of 5), so it's for the reasonably experienced home mechanic.
it does mention about having to make a bespoke locking tool to lock the cams whilst the belt is off.
I personally think it is one job best left to a garage.
