In the midst of B230F timing belt change...help! 200 1988

I just purchased a 88 245 DL and am in the middle (or start?) of doing "catch-up maintenance". Having no idea when anything was done: I'm doing it all! Anyways, I'm attempting my first-ever timing belt. My current problem is this:

My AC compressor is not loosening to remove the belt (in order to remove the crankshaft pulley). I have loosened the 10mm long bolt (tensioner device I beileve) and also the 13mm nut (actually locks down the compressor at belt position). What am I missing? Is my compressor just stuck? If so, how do I unstick it?

2nd question. Not having access to Volvo special tool # 5284 for holding the crankshaft pulley stationary while R&R the nut...how do I hold it then? What does everybody else use?

So all for now. And again...HELP!!!

Cheers,

-Chris in Clarksville
