Cam seal change question.

Hi All,

I'm trying to change the cam and crank seals while I'm doing the timing belt and water pump.

I loosened the left cam sprocket bolt by setting the breaker bar on the bolt and banging it with hammer, thereby mimicking the effect of impact wrench. While I first set them up to an alignment position, after loosening the bolt, the cams are a little bit rotated. I tried to put them back to alignment position by rotating the right cam (since old timing belt is still on), but I wonder that if the left camshaft and cam sprocket slips with respect to each other, since now bolt is loose, than I may have messed up. I'd think that Subaru wouldn’t design a critical system like that, but I would like to make sure….
