Correct me if I am wrong
Place the crank on Tdc lock it
Take the belt off then
Remove the crank lock
Then turn the crank counterclockwise quarter turn... While the belts off
Or set the crank and camshaft into Tdc then turn the crank quarter turn counterclockwise so the position of the crank and camshaft not Tdc any more
In that position remove the belt and everything else then fit the camshaft in the same position as it was on removal and fit everything back...
Can I do the injector adjustment by turning the camshaft clockwise and anticlockwise while the belt not fitted and crank is not in Tdc?
Or I have to refit the belt first then make sure of Tdc position then adjust the injector by turning the crank?

It should not make a difference, because the belt removal process its just a matter of loosening the tensioner and pulling the belt. There should be no need to spin the crank.
Positioning the crank 90 deg ccw allows you to spin the cam at your convenience such as when setting inj lash.
I also recommend replacing t-belt and associated hardware while there.
As for the remove/do not remove the tp, if you go for not removing it, make sure the gasket is not leaking oil into the driver side of the engine. Otherway its a good timw to replace it.
If its your first time replacing the cam, grab an extra cam seal. They are easy to damage when inserting in the cam snout.
Please observe the general guidelines
* if tbelt is mounted and torqued and need to spin the cam/crank ALWAYS spin BY THE CRANK.
* once the belt is removed and the pistons parked midway (by the 90 deg ccw) you can spin the cam by its hub.
* please observe all torque sequences and specs for the different fasteners.
The myturbodiesel videls are golden and i also recommend paying the full membership. They are worth gold for the non professional mechanic.
