So what is this special tool and how does it work? Seemed we just couldn't keep the belt on the AC pulley while trying to rotate it onto the crank pulley. Tried both directions and I didn't want to get too aggressive and tear the new belt...

Oh well... it's driveable now without AC... but he does have a couple of pretty noisy lifters on the driver side. While they are checking that out they can take care of the belt too.
I put mine on the crank pulley and cranked the crank pulley using the crank bolt will leveraging the belt on the ac pulley with a screw driver. Once I did that it walked on perfectly.

Wish I'd done that before putting a hole in it first. Have had no problems though.
