diy timing belt ???

[wellsy]

hi all i have a 1998 v70 t5 pre me7 and it is in need of a new timing belt ,
i was hoping to do the job myself using genuine volvo belt kit with a new water pump and aux belt
was wandering how much of a job they are to do i have never done a cam belt before .
i am used to fiddling with bike engines so not too scared to take the job on
any help will be vey much appreciated
thanks husqey..

personally i wouldnt do it if your not too sure as it will be a very costly mistake if you get it wrong............
it is an easy job if you know what your doing,like any job if you know what your doing :)
just make sure you got enough info in front of you before you start it and you check everything that is mentioned twice to make sure................

Just in case no one has mentioned it re the tensioner close the pin very slowly with a vice do not try and rush/force it closed :)
