Hi,
I am new to this site, and have a question.

Can any one tell me where I can get the timing tools required to change the timing belt on a Volvo V70 2002

Mr.Volvo

No tools are needed to do the T-belt. Unless you have to remove the pulleys, then you need to realign the cams. The tools required to do that are about $5-600.

Hi Mr Volvo.

I have been told that to remove the timing belt from the crankshaft end you have to remove the crankshaft pulley hence!

Mr.Volvo

Well you need to remove the damper pulley for the serp belt, but not the pulley for the t-belt. You can do it with out removing the damper pulley, but I find it easier to remove it.

But no special tools are required to reassemble. If you remove the cam spockets, that is a different story.

Hi Mr Volvo.

That is exactly what I found out, but don't you need a C/Shaft pulley holding tool to remove the C/shaft pulley?
And I certainly do not intend to remove the camshaft sprokets.

Mr.Volvo

Only if you don't have a 1/2" impact gun, to remove the large nut.

But if you try to remove the crankshaft pulley for the t-belt , you will need to two jaw puller. But the damper pulley for the serp belt, can be popped lose with a pry bar.

Hi Mr Volvo.

Sorry for the late reply, have been away.

I have a 1/2in impact gun, so no problem there.
Will try to get away without removing c/s pulley, if not have puller as well.

Thanks for all your help and input.
