Therefore one has to remove the front tools and remove the locking pin to turn the engine slightly in order to engage the rear tool to change the secondary belts. I'm assuming this is what everyone has found, but confirmation would be appreciated.
This what I expected you to post. They are close but not exact. Once the front is all done and tools removed move the crank back or forth to allow the rear tool to slot in. In fact I think I described this earlier in the thread or somewhere anyway.
