If you remove the tensioner plunger... its on the bottom next to the pan with 2 bolts there is plenty of play however the only way to compress it is with a press or big vise you slide a small allen wrench through the hole to hold it in place and pull out the allen when you re-assemble... I also removed the idler pulley to install the belts around the cams once all the timing marks match install the idler and then the tensioner plunger (pull the allen out) A few major shortcuts I took advantage of this time was not pulling the spark plugs or the cam gears as the seals were fine... also when you are pulling off the crank pulley your puller bolts go through the spanner wrench holes first then through the puller that will prevent the crank from turning when pulling the pulley...
