Hello I'm just need help I'm goanna disinstall my harmonic bal lancer damper pulley but the issue is that I don't want to move the timing marker is there a special way that I must do this procedure to install correctly is there a special tool to lock in place the camshaft or pulley from moving while I try to loosen the big bolt that hold the pulley in place I'm kind dumb about these things but I am mechanically inclined I have been doing all my work so far on this car it has been very helpful just to minimize spending on a mechanic. Times are relay rough this is my work car please can you help me I would realy appreciate this and may GOD BLESS YOU. P.S is the process to remove the damper pulley harmonic balance's same as installing it back?

Timing is not something that you have to worry about when removing the pulley. It won't be effected. The pulley has a keyway to align it to the correct position. I hope you realize that this is not an easy job and will require a puller and likely a strong impact gun to remove the bolt. You may even have to lower the engine cradle to gain access room to work.
