2002 Volvo S60 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 105000 miles

I am replacing the timing belt along with the water pump on a 2002 S60 for it's 100K service. Is there a specific tool for removing the harmonic balancer or will a jaw type puller for pulleys work. I was told the standard puller you would use is the same as the steering wheel puller, but that does not sound right.

Once you remove all the bolts, reinstall the crankbolt but do not install all the way. Use apry bar and pry on the crank pulley. That willl pop it out for you. Hope this helps.
