How do you get the brush belt on without breaking stuff? It seems like the whole clutch assembly needs to come out but not clear on how.

You can't change the belt. There is a factory tool that is needed to do it.

How do i change the fan belt on a dyson dc07i

DC07s have two drivebelts that turn the brush bar - one connects the output of the motor to the clutch, the other connects the clutch to the brush bar.
You can check the latter simply by removing the sole plate and looking. Unfortunately the other belt is hidden under a plastic cover, so you cant see if it is okay or not without some dismantling. This cover is not easy to remove and requires a Torx driver to under the securing screws.
If, after removing the cover, the other belt is okay, then you have a faulty clutch. New clutches are available on eBay reasonably cheaply, but again good tools and DIY skills are required.
Have a look atwww.dysonmedic.com which has some excellent info on dismantling and repairing a DC 07.

After getting a tie caught and released, the blade will not spin. The belt is OK and there does not seem to be anything caught or holding it.

Brush doesn't spin

This model has Brush Control
The Brushbar can be turned off to protect rugs and delicate floors
You've either accidently turned the brushbar off or the belts broken

Can the belt in the clutch be replaced or do I have to buy a new clutch and belt assembly?

You don't need to replace the whole clutch, you can replace just the belt. You can get the clutch belt and the brush roll belt combo pack for the DC07 here:

Replace dyson 07 animal brush roll assembley

The end caps of the brush assembly which contain the bearings are only a push fit onto the spindle (quite tight). Remove these and the brush bar will pass through the drive belt loop. To achieve this the belt has to be stretched slightly so care has to be taken not to over-stretch what might be a belt getting to the end of its life. When refitting the end caps do not forget to aline them properly so they fit into the sole plate recesses correctly.

I cannot see at the moment how to replace the drive belt on the DC 07 without significant dismantling (that will probably be my next job) I do not see the use of the Dyson tool you offered.
