Tie Rods / Timing Belt

Tie Rods / Timing Belt
I'm replacing the tie rods on my 2000 A6 4.2L Quattro. Good times. Any tips or tricks? Do I really need that special tool the manual suggests, or has anyone done it with a regular wrench?
Also, in a couple of months, I will be replacing my timing belt. The manual has 2 pages on the process, and all the videos I can find are of the V6 models. Does anyone know a link for the V8 timing belt replacement? I'd like to save the $1100 in labor and do this myself, but I want to make sure I have my junk straight first.
My experience level is slightly above average, but not expert, as far as car maintenance. My only fault is that I don't have a garage or tools of my own. I have access to these things though, if I really need them.
So, if there's tips and such, please let me know!
