Timing belt change instructions S60 2001

It's time for me to do the timing belt change on my 01 S60 2.4T and I wondered if anyone can point me to a good set of instructions.
I'm a good wrench, but there is always benefit from experience.

For example, does the crank pulley have to come off?
Also, is keeping the cams in the right position a problem? I was thinking about getting or making a tool to hold them in place during the swap.

Thanks for any help.

Try going to http://www.ipdusa.com. They sell a belt kit that includes the belt, a DVD containing instructions, and the cam locking block that keeps the cams from turning. Hope this is helpful.

Well, I think you have the newer type tensioner so it is slightly different from the older white engines. I will limit my comments to the 850/early S70 t-belt where some say remove the pulley and some say don't. I have no trouble slipping the belt on past the pulley, takes a second or two to feed it into place and it seemed intuitive enough to me working blind, by feel.
