Happy Tuesday BITOG.
I am going to attempt to do a timing belt change this weekend on the Volvo S60. I have watched a few Youtube videos (both did not use a camshaft holding tool) and I have a Haynes book in the mail too. Seems like a somewhat simple process, but once the marks on the intake and exhaust cams and crankshaft pully are lined up, obviously you don't want them to move.
In a video I watched, after the guy put a ratchet on the crankshaft and turned it 2 complete turns he noticed they moved and he had to redo it? What does this mean exactly? The video skipped over this part.. Did he just move them into place by hand or did he have to put a wrench back on the crankshaft pulley? Also, once they move after they are no longer held together with the belt, wouldnt the exhaust cam, intake cam and crankshaft be free to move wherever and be difficult to get back into place?
Here's the video.

The part of the video in question is around 13:55.
