2002 S80 2.9 Timing Belt replacement - Do I need a special tool?

Post by superfeed »

Good People,

Do I need a special holding tool for the crank/harmonic balancer to get this job done?

Thanks,

I did not touch harmonic balancer during timing belt on 2001 v70xc. There was ample space for the belt to roll off and then back on.

The 6 cylinder S80 is basically the same as a 5 cylinder motor in timing procedure. The CVVT just needs to be setup at clockwise rotation with no anti-clockwise rotation during belt attachment. If you go clockwise without belt attached just wind the cam pulley anti-clockwise 30 degrees then back to the timing mark.
