Like this?

The original Volvo one is slightly different (engages only top half of balancer pulley not all of it like this version).

That link looks interesting.

For what it may be worth I bought the genuine Volvo tool in August 2010 from a Volvo dealer in or near Colchester. My note is:

Crankshaft Pulley Tool
Part number 9995284
£29.60 plus VAT.
From Sweden ... two working days.

If I were looking for one now I would try FRF Volvo dealer parts department in Swansea. 01792 790066 or 01792 784272 - Quoting discount code: C3.
I find they give an excellent postal or courier service at sensible prices and other forum members speak well of them. Oh and their courier (Interlink) give a two hour delivery time slot.

I think the tool is well worth buying especiallyif one is keeping the car. And I guess it will have a second hand value in due course. But the more experienced forum members have ways of doing the job without the tool. There's a list of techniques in a post somewhere in the forum.

4) Impact wrench with air line
5) Rope trick - feed string into a plug hole, wind crank so that the piston is locked. Remove string afterwards!
6) Cheat - cut slit in lower plastic cover so that you can remove it, leaving the pulley in situ.

Definitely NO GO...

But realize it took me with my limited skills in welding to make below in half an hour. Luckily we had some suitable sizes of metal in the trashbin.

According to 'legend' the reason for the special crank holder is because the B2XX series engines (and others) have cast, rather than forged crankshafts.

I don't know of anyone who has actually snapped one using an impact wrench on the pulley nut, but it is a risk - alledgedly!
