With the belt correctly routed but leave it loose on the idler. Use an 18" long 1/2" drive breaker bar. Slip a 19 mm socket on it. Stand in front of the engine on the passenger side. Put the socket on the bolt of the tensioner from the top between the coolant reservoir and the engine and push. When you have the tensioner compressed this way with your right hand holding the bar, bend down and slip the belt on the idler with your left hand through the passenger side wheel opening. Takes about 2 minutes. This is by far the simplest way to compressed the tensioner without any special tool.
