The timing belt change went pretty well today. I didn't quite make the flat rate labor of three hours but only missed it by an hour. The pictoral instruction on the website http://volvospeed.com/Repair/timingbelt.php was extremely helpful.

I added an extra step and removed the serpentine tensioner to give a bit more access to the fron t of the motor. While that was out, I put it in a vise and opened it all of the way up, then drilled an 1/8" hole through two sides in alignment so it could be locked open with an allen wrench(short). That helped when I re-installed the serpentine belt.

Regards,
