I didn't watch the vid,
but is it just prying the belt off with the tip of  a screwdriver ?
that works REALLY well....
just arrange the screw driver, bump the starter a time or two.
belt jumps right off.
same going back on.

where this can be useful is not having to readjust the belt tension going
back together.
