Hi, front crank bolt torque is 40 Nm + 90 degrees. you will also need a puller to remove the pulley.
Not really a diy job unless you know what you are doing.

The timing belt needs to be removed, so you will need the locking tools...

Fill in your location, or tell us where you are - then we can point you in the direction of a Puma friendly garage.
It sounds like this is NOT a D.I.Y. job
