This one..?

They're just a bayonet type fitting....twist about 45 degrees CCW and pull. Ford make a tool for it but you don't really need it...but they can be difficult to remove if they've bee there for some time.

Probably not but would make it easier....only takes ten seconds to remove the belt anyway.
