Question 2000 v70 (D5252T) auxiliary belt replacement

Hi,

My auxiliary/serpentine belt snapped due to the air con seizing. I don't want to fork out for a new AC unit, so have bought a smaller belt (6PK1555/68409) instead of the longer one (6PK1795/68821) for cars with AC.

I have the usual trouble of the 10V 2.5D D5252T engine not being covered by the Haynes manual, and I can't for the life of me work out how to:
(1) Route the belt
(2) Slacken off the tensioner. There's no obvious nut to loosen or place to grab it. It's not possible for me to hold it up and then slip the belt over the water pump pulley.

Any advice, tips on tools or belt diagrams would be most welcome!

Thanks,

Lee
