2000 S70 Need help with timing

[ABABABA]

Hi everyone,

I was working on my Girlfriend's 2000 S70 GLT, which had a leaky VVT pulley, so I attempted to do the full timing belt/idler/tensioner replacement while I was in there, as well as front and rear cam seals. everything was going swimmingly, until I attached the rear camshaft locking tool, and the intake side bolt sheared off inside the camshaft. My Dad attempted to take it out with a screw extractor, but while doing so apparently managed to spin the camshaft around several times. I also don't know if he monkeyed around with the crankshaft at all.

Anyway, I tried to use some of the tutorials on the web to reset the timing, but I realized that the timing marks on the crankshaft pully are now pointing toward the ground, and the crankshaft pulley will only rotate about 180 degrees, stopping about 45 degrees short of the timing marks. This is with the now repaired rear camshaft locking tool in place and with both pulleys seemingly in their appropriate positions with the timing marks aligned with the notches on the belt guard?

Any suggestions as to what might be happening here?

If you can get the crankshaft back to its timing mark then you can rotate the camshafts all that you want and need to and the valves won't hit anything.

Do not try to force the crankshaft at any point trying to get it back, you may need walk the camshafts back and forth in order to get the crankshaft back to where it needs to be.

Once the crankshaft is back to the mark go ahead and move the camshafts back to their marks, or one tooth off in the case of the CVVT camshaft per the CVVT preload procedure.

I also broke the bolt for the cam lock tool in the intake cam on my nephew's 2000 V70. I should have used a chaser tap to clean out the threads. I would recommend to anyone using the rear cam lock tool to clean out the years of oil residue picked up in the cam's thread or risk shearing the cam lock bolt in the cam shaft.
I was not successful removing the broken bolt. In order to use the cam lock tool I had to use a board between the fender and the cam lock to secure the cam shaft.
