Hello all, I live in Portland Oregon(west side) and unfortunately IPD is sold out of the pulley removal tool. Was hoping someone in the forum lived in the area and would be kind enough to let me borrow it for replacing the timing belt in my kids car. Let me know if you can help out.

This does look like it would work but with my luck, the breaker bar would strip the bolt and fly off the car and lodged itself in the wall. I'll have to try this method on a friends car.
Thanks,
Will S.

I've used this method on both RWD and FWD Volvos. It works.
Also, search this forum for the "rope trick".

You mean the 1992 Volvo 940 Turbo your daughter owns?
So, you want the crankshaft pulley counter hold tool (Volvo PN 9995284), or to borrow someone that has one.
You have options:
https://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/EngineSealsBeltsVent.htm
I imagine some Portland OR-Vancouver WA folks here can help you.
This tool is made by OTC (SPX? tools for Volvo, at least the OEM version. Some after market will do okay. Early iPd versions of this tool were made of stamped plate steel and would flex. The advantage of this tool as it locks the crank works so you have very low risk of damaging the crank timing belt gear as you use a 24 MM socket with a breaker bar on the crank pulley retaining nut.
Continental makes a kit with the INA brand belt tensioner. Round toothed belt lasts 100k miles. Square tooth belt lasts 50k miles. Tensioner lasts 100k miles (Replace every second square toothed belt).
Also, several times, like after the first 100 miles, and then again 500 miles or so, on a cool OFF engine, remove the grommet that covers the timing belt tensioner, release it, wait some minutes, and reapply proper torque. Restore the rubber grommet. The timing belt stretches at initial run in for the first 500-1000 or so miles.
Some one with a good mechanic's touch with the belt under tensioner, uh, tension, will be able to slowly, and slightly turn the crank pulley, as you stand on the North American passenger front corner, slightly counter clockwise, as you stand in front and face the pulley, to remove all slack on the timing belt long run. Go to far, and you have reset the alignment. I've never seen the tensioner, when released at the retaining bolt, apply such force as to turn the crank end to take up long run slack. Maybe other folks have.
Another option is your local Volvo club, the Oregon Volvo Tuner of Portland:
http://ovtuners.org/
Yet you plan to do the work this weekend? May I also suggest any Volvo Penta marine service shop may lend or rent you the tool? If it was 1989, I could suggest a few repair facilities that may lend you, or hold a credit card and perform a credit card authorization, or you merely leave a deposit and rental charge.
You may well know all this stuff already. So, sorry to go on so long.
Hope that helps.
My best to the (McMenamins) Fulton Brew Pub on SW Nebraska Avenue, Kell's downtown, and well, some other places.
The Captain Neon Burger and (Ken's) Communication Breakdown Burger are my faves. With tater tots. At the Fulton.
Ken was the cook and creator of his Communication breakdown burger at the Fulton. Not quite the same as it was 28 years ago.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the info! Yes, those it's the Volvo my daughter picked up. I attempted to perform the belt replacement yesterday without the tool.... It was a futile effort. Just can't remove it despite all my Mcgyver inspired efforts. I'll all around at shops next week to see if someone will rent it to me.
Thanks again,
Will S.

Hiya Uncle Old Duke!
Happy Easter Sundae (all day long)!
You really cannot have enough uncles, indeed!!!!
Welp, yep, the Pacific Northwest with the long-lived, not rusty belt (single snowflake, young tons of melting salty salty) rear wheel drive Volvo automobiles (and other like imports) retain many models long after the assembly line production ceased. Yet places like (offered me a job in Feb 1989, a ruby Tuesday, takes it back the following Thursday) Jim Fisher Volvo in downtown Portland, and like auto stores in the SF Bay Area and, well, certainly Seattle, did very well in Volvo sales. The sense of the working population was well placated by all things Swedish (luktefisk?) and Europa, I'll imagine?
When I got to Portland in 1989, it was a RWD Volvo on every street, and at every street corner, in every parking lot, and what have you. They sold so many, I guess. Versus like the Midwest redmeat toilet of Marlboro cigarettes. Whether downtown, or in (how the hell do I get the hell out of here) Beaverton, or Clakamas County. The rear wheel drive Volvos where everywhere. To a concentration that exceeded that which I'd encountered in the Sf Grey (Bay) Area for the several years prior to that.
Also, in my early Seattle visits, ditto. Crazy. It made me crazy. All the 140s, Amazons, PVs, and more 164s. Yet they also had the cool Saabs and late 1960s and early 1970s BMWs before they became a wealth icon. Same for Mercedes.
They last long enough that the enthusiasts glombed on to them, or those that keep it stock and care for them. Though by now, the World of human 'Merikan consumerism has moved on, so, some are restored and some are rough in appearance, and maybe run well (like mine), or run as well as their appearance.
Perhaps a cultural thing. The same thing in lower BC, Canada, and in the larger city centers in AB, Canada, and the like.
If you search for Volvo on the Portland or Seattle craigslist, you'll see a lot of RWD Volvos. do the same for stinky owld St. Louis, Chicago, Dallas, and the rest of populist red meat USA, and not so many, if any. Can't help it in Minneapolis. They have the snow, ice, and rusting salt. You get more in Denver, yet they use magnesium-chloride to melt ice and snow. Much harder on steel cars than calcium-chloride.
Petty fascists? What petty fascist? Were the Trump-voting neo-conservatives or Billary-voting neo-liberals? What diff does it make?
Hope that helps you,
Yep, Residing in the Fascist Heck-Hole that is 'MeriKa.
Say no to the Zersetzung right here in 'Merika.
