'09 Volvo S60 timing belt change

[projectPONY]

I'm down to just removing the crank pulley bolt but I'm having a hell of a time. Does anyone know if this thing is reverse thread?

According to The Google.... No it's not.


Also...

You shouldn’t have to loosen the crank shaft pulley? You loosen the tensioner pulley and the belt should come off. If you do remove the crank shaft pulley make sure you torque it properly.

That's what i was just thinking but apparently there is no way to loosen the tensioner.

I have used a cheater bar and the starter to remove lots of crank pulley
bolts! As simple as turning the engine over...
