No worries I completely forgot we can download from Bentley online. For anyone that needs to put the car in the service position there is no need for the tool (bolts). Just unscrew the bolts from the bumper and you can use them as the tool. They are the same size diamater and long enough. Works perfect.
Pulley off, new bolts and belt going in today.
