Thanks for your input, I have read the D24 service manual also I have Auto Data instructions that is more relevant than the Volvo Manual and covers my version of engine.
The main difference being that there is no need to drain the coolant as there is a dedicated
tensioner used to tension the timing belt.
I have also managed to obtain the special crank pulley tool, it would appear my choice seems
to be, that the bolt either will undo or shear using a long lever. I think the dealer did not want to be in that position.

regards
