Is it free wheeling crank on this model. Can it be done without locking tools? Is waterpump part of the set up, if so I want to change it as part of the belt kit. Thanks Matt

I wouldnt try without locking tools.. Always change water pump and accessory belt too..

Indeed it does! Granted a 1.6 instead of the 1.4, but similar outcome..
