Spent the better part of two hours pulling this hose out of a customers car. Had to drop the alternator and starter motor to get enough room to pull it out over the gearbox. did you pull the inlet manifold or drop the alt and starter like i did?

SOURCE: emissions warning light stays illuminated while
The warning light has two states. A blinking light indicates a critical
problem with gaseous emissions from the engine that is likely to cause
permenant damage to the engine, exhaust sytem or catalytic converter. A
blinking light must be remedied immediately, and the car should not be
driven in this state, at the risk of causing serious and permenant
damage to the engine, exhaust and/or catalytic converter. Repairing or
replacing these parts can be extremely expensive. A reputable garage or
a Vauxall/Opel garage should be able to diagnose and repair the
problem.
A solid (unblinking) light indicates a non-critical
fault in the emmisions exhaust system. Many faults are covered by this
light including failures in emssions sensors, temperature sensors and a
variety of other parts. This usually results in a higher than average
amount of environmentally harmful pollutants being expelled from the
car, loss of power and/or gradual damage to the engine, exhaust and
catalytic converter. While the car can still be driven with a
non-critical emmisions problem, it is highly recommended that the fault
is diagnosed and repaired at a reputable garage or Vauxhall/Opel
garage.

You can try to pull on the belt with the plastic trim piece removed the take a flat tipped screwdriver the release the arm or bar holding the belt in the lock position. Most of these have a spring on them. That spring can fall out. Or sometimes the bar or lock arm may be jammed and needs to be pried loose then lubricated to prevent this from repeating in the future.
