Find timming mark on crank without removing balancer

Hi, Need help, have s40 2000 and replaced timming belt but moved the marks! Found cam marks but is there a way to see mark on crank gear without removing balancer.

Why not just take the balancer off? It's just 4 bolts of I'm not mistaken.

You may already know this, but when all the marks are in line, #1 piston is NOT at Top Dead Center. I don't know why Volvo did it this way but they did. #1 piston is about 1/2 way up and I think it is #3 and #4 that are close to the top. Just make sure that the marks line up and you will be OK.
