Rule308,
I used your tips and Bay13 instructions to install a new timing belt, water pump, idler pulley, hydraulic tensioner on my 1999 S80 non-turbo. I was not able to finish this job due to the following issues. Please help me out if you can.
------
After taking out the crankshaft nut and vibration damper, I tried to remove the crankshaft pulley by using a harmonic balance puller. I was very surprised that the timing gear was also came out together with the crankshaft pulley (or, the pulley for the auxiliaries belt). The timing gear and the crankshaft pulley were connected by a small hollow pin, and luckily I could stop this job before cutting out a timing belt. I reasembled the pulley and all parts back from this point. I installed a new drive belt only although I bought so many parts from internet. My car works just like before.
I would like to find out how I can remove the crankshaft pulley without pulling out the timing gear. I was also not able to remove the hydraulic tensioner bottom bolt since I couldn't put a 12mm socket due to a little interferencing with the crankshaft pulley. Please let me know any good tips on how to remove the crankshaft pulley of S80. Thanks in advance.
