Timing belt. 850 1994

Hello all! The car is back together and running! The project stretched over two days, with a total time of at least 7 or 8 hours. I did have a friend come by and double check my alignment marks. I had never done this before so I wanted to make sure. I still had a bear of a time seeing the notch down on the cog at the crankshaft pulley. I tried to follow the bay 13 procedure for this project. I did remove the lower shield, plate w/10mm bolts. But I did not remove the crankshaft pulley. This leaves only a tiny gap to work the old belt off and the new belt on. After much wiggling, cursing, tool throwing and a break or two the belt will come out or go on. Taking the pulley off would make this much easier but I was worried about what problems I might run into with that. The last problem I had was pulling the pin out of the tensioner. I had used a small allen wrench but did not have any vise grips to pull it out with. I finally got it out using some electical pliers and a small pry bar. I usually have troble with the parts of the job that seems easiest. Thanks to everyone for your help, ideas and encouragement! Now what shalll I try next? Jim.
