PI309DVD Reviewed by GARY HIX from Winston-Salem NC
I found this DVD limited in the information it gave. It did illustrate the layout of the parts and the sequence of their removal. It skipped over the the parts to remove to get to the timing belt, It also did not discuss how to remove the parts with the engine in the car. Good luck finding a tool that will fit the 30mm bolt on the crankshaft pully with less than 2 inches of clearance. I finally descovered that the timing belt will slip under the pully if you access it from below. First remove the cover below. There is a splash cover that is easily pulled aside so that these parts are visible. The only other problem I had was the tensioning bearing. There is only about 1.5 inches clearance for the torx, not quite enough to get the socket in. I used the socket alone and put a wrench on the shaft to turn it. This worked well up to the last 0.25 in, then I changed to a hex key and removed the loosened torx bolt. If you a not familiar with layout (first time) this DVD has some value.

T850CT Reviewed by GARY HIX from NC
Used this tool this weekend on my 850. At first I did not think it would do the job. After struggling in the confined space of the engine compartment, I was happy to have the assurance that I had not moved the camshafts. The fit is close and all four pins engage. It can be knocked out if you are not careful. I will be using this tool on my S70.

This tool is cheap insurance to ensure that nothing moves that isn't supposed to when replacing a timing belt.
One note for the first time user: I found it necessary to experiment around a bit to determine which pins to position in the appropriate sprockets of the gears. Once it was positioned, though, it was obvious it was in the right piece. The tool inserted with a fair amount of friction...no "slop" at all. Also, I initially assumed that all four pins would engage with the cam gears. As it turned out, there were only 3 of the 4 pins that were engaged with the gears....not all 4.
