KlausC, Thanks a lot for taking the time. The side(front of engine) cover on the timing belt really does have an upper and lower part. There simply was no video I could find to help me work it out. This should have sent up flags for me, but it didn't. I went back and studied the problem and finally saw that it would be impossible to install the new TBelt with out removing both the nearby motor mount and the nearby Impulse Reducer. Since I don't have a second jack, I decided to call it quits. I buy many of my parts at FCPGroton.com. They verified that the story about the Motor Mount and IR is true.

I accept this as the answer to my problem. I made a big DIY mistake moving from the tried and true 850/S70 family to the V50. The V50 has a lot of good points, but is really sucks trying to work on it some times.
