Re: Changing timing belt on 1993 non- turbo 940 (big dog daddy)
If your car is an automatic you will need a crank holding tool to remove the harmonic balancer, as shown here:

Or you will need an assistant to hold a tool in the flywheel teeth to prevent engine rotation while removing the balancer, I have done this by myself but it is a pain.
If it's a manual transmission you might be able use the drive train to prevent engine from rotating.
I have changed a timing belt in 30 minutes on a 240 without power steering, ac and harmonic balancer. The only problem I have encountered is the alignment marks for the intermediate shaft are some times hard to find and align. The belts usually have the marks on them which helps overcome this problem thou. Also if your 940 has the distributor mounted to the rear of the head the intermediate shaft alignment is not required as it only drives the oil pump.
Here is some more info:

I really think you will be able to do this job.
