Good description, however the timing mark on the crank is at the back of the sprocket and can easily be seen without a mirror. In no way does the crank pulley need to be removed. The small timimg grove on the crank sprocket is in the middle of one of the teeth and less than 1/8 inch long.
One other point is make sure the belt under the crank does not get hooked on a small stud that is below the sprocket. The belt needs to be twisted almost vertical to get the belt above the stud and snug against the pulley.
