I tried the old credit card trick, just split the card. The belt is super tight. I’ve seen a picture of the Volvo tool on Vida, it’s similar to the one in the video but you put a spanner on the tool turning it against the belt which in turn stretches it over the pulley.
Either way it’s a sod of a job and paying a man is better than laid swearing under the car. I’d rather go and read the paper in the dealers showroom looking at stuff I can’t afford for half hour than bugger on with cars its just not fun anymore
