I will give you a top tip. Remove spark plugs and stick some thick string inside the cylinders, one will do. This will allow you to lock up the engine and easily remove the crank pulley bolt without doing any damage to tools or the engine. Once bolt is loosened, simply rotate the engine the oppposite way slightly and retrieve the string.

Good to see you getting stuck in. I suspect my gun may have done it, but they are also quite dear to buy (DeWalt DCH899 for anyone wondering). It undid 2CV bearing retainers (both the hubnut and the retainer itself) without a problem. However, even with this big rattle gun, using an impact socket makes a big difference to how the job goes. They're far tougher and design to repeatedly take the shocks from the persistent hammering

A handy trick is to remove cylinder 1 spark plug and with the engine at BDC feed some rope down into the cylinder, then trun it to TDC (or close). When the rope compresses it locks the engine quite well and lets you get a power bar on the crank pulley bolt to loosen it.

Lovely to see the progress slowly but surely, taking your time and being clean and methodical is key! I can't wait to see the end result, the hard work will pay off. Advise, as you found out the shiny black impact sockets are thin walled, which is why they could shift the crank bolt, always use the proper impact sockets you've got and not the chrome sockets as you'll risk shattering them. I deeply suspect you enjoyed using your new tool and it will certainly save you money but giving you confidence in fixing more - hopefully proven once you've fitted the engine :)

The power of an impact wrench is from the weight of the hammers in it not so much from the battery voltage, also an 18 volt unit will have 5 cells in the battery pack and so will the 21 volt unit, it is solely down to the marketing guys as to whether they round the voltage up or down Makita chose to use the lower figure. At the end of the day I have always found that air powered units are better but not as convenient as cordless, so having both is best.

A trick I have read but not had to use yet for locking the engine to break loose the crank pulley bolt. Find the piston at BDC and coil rope down into the cylinder until there is enough to stop it turning. The last time I loosened the bolt off I put the car in 5th gear and put the hand brake on. It loosened but the car was starting to move. Some guys put a wrench on the bolt and turn the engine on the starter to crack it. The impact drivers now make life so much easier. Good luck with the rest of it, despite the odd setback it seems to be going well.

indeed, standard practice on the old 740/760 and 940 Volvo's is to locate a socket on a breaker bar, lodge it on the frame somewhere and flick (JUST flick!) the starter to undo the crank bolt. Doing it up is just a case of the third stage of tightness....ok, I'll explain...1st stage is tight, 2nd stage is f***ing tight and 3rd stage is WCDTU, ("what ***t did that up?"). One reason I personally don't like ugga-duggas is some b'stard uses it on my wheel nuts and that's a bugga when you get a puncture on a dark night in the bluddy rain.

I would highly recommend finding a way to verify that the timing is correct. I assume there should be a procedure/marks to line up to verify it.. I am very uneasy with trusting things not to have moved when you swapped belts, unless you have a way to positively lock the cam and crank..

Crank and cam marks were still aligned, before and after the test spin.

There are timing marks on both pulleys and he checked them both after fitting the new belt and after doing a full revolution of the crank by hand.
