What precautions should be taken with the cam gear and timing belt when rotating the crankshaft or camshaft for V6 engines on 2004 Volkswagen Passat?

The crankshaft or camshaft should not be turned with the timing belt off, since it may cause damage to the valves. This procedure is similar to that of DOHC and SOHC engines, and done with two special tools. This is not a simple process that should be undertaken by just anybody without serious consequences on the engine.
