I thinkl I had a technique not yet discussed here. Right boot on the wrench so I could use both hands on the belt.

BTW - the Porsche belt I took out didn't look that bad - but it had what looked like a clean cut across the tread down to the belt. But just one. It was o clean it looked like it had been cut or was supposed to be that way.
You can't judge the belt visually. It has internal cords which could be damaged and unseen. Best to replace it on schedule to keep from being stranded somewhere.
