S-80 Timing belt questions

I have attempted to get the BELT out. This is not the timing belt, but the serpentine belt. I swear that I've tried to force the replacement belt between the Harmonic balancer and a protruding bolt ( engine mount ?? ) prior to actually removing the bad belt just to see if there's enough clearance. It's close, but I just can't force the belt through. Could it be difference between turbo and non-turbo (mine is turbo), or year- mine is 1999. Others say here in Forum that balancer MUST come off ?? Thanks so much for your help !!! Don H

I just did this on my 1999 S80 T6, take the 4 bolts off and mark the pulley and balancer to ensure you put it back in the same orientation. This does not effect the pulley as the 30mm crank nut is what holds the pulley on.

I used the ‘can’t get it wrong’ technique of marking the pulleys and the old belt and then transferred the marks to the new belt. I fitted the new tensioner and idler, however when I fitted the new belt the camshaft pulleys wouldn’t align. After a bit of how on earth can this happen, I put the old belt back on it was then I found that the exhaust pulley had rotated one tooth out. Sorted this and bolted it all together and set the tension, all good. Then I had a good fight getting the aux belt on whilst trying to move the auto tensioner out of the way. Job all done and it was only 11:30pm and I had to get up at 5am the next morning. Looks like the old belt was the original
