Serpentine Belt Tensioner tool V70-XC70 2007

The belt tensioner on my car does not have any apparent recess for a tool (see pic). Any thoughts?

      1) The address doesn't work (at least with my computer).

      2) I had a V70 which had a 3/4" square recess. A friend made me a 1.5" long piece of 3/4" bar stock which I could easily put a wrench on.

      3) Larger size Torx recesses (#50, 55 or 60) have been on the others I've seen.

        Here's an offering from ipd with two different Torx head sizes that works many '99 - 2007 models: https://www.ipdusa.com/products/11344/124537-volvo-serpentine-belt-tool-p80-p1-p2-ipd-124537

        Always thought the 3/4" recess was found on pre-1999 models (with original tensioner), ipd offers that tool also: https://www.ipdusa.com/products/5830/105058-volvo-serpentine-belt-tool-ipd-105058
