Changing S-belt - how do I get more space to work 850 1994

Hi

I gave up replacing my S-belt today. Tried the coin trick, which worked until I realised I couldn't get a nail or allen key into the locating hole to prevent it from springing back - the plier gripping the coin was blocking the hole. A most frustrating way to spend two hours.

Now, given that there's a squeal, as well as an occasional rough running sound coming from the S-belt location, I intend to replace both tensioner pulley as well as the idler pulley.

1. Looking at the lack of space to work, how would I go about removing the black box containing the electronics to give me more room? Has anyone tried removing this?

2. Has anyone managed to remove both the tensioner assembly and the idler pulley without removing this box?

3. Would I need to remove the power steering pump pulley in order to remove the tensioner assembly?


Thanks in advance!

Regards
Lucast
