You say, "take the tension off the belt and then release it slowly." That is going to be easier said than done with what little room you have to work between the side of the engine and the fenderwell. I was able to do remove and replace my AC compressor without removing the wheel and inner fender plastic, but I had to use my homemade tool that held the tensioner. It wasn't easy, and even once the tool slipped off and the tensioner popped apart.
The 2nd and 3rd time, the job was easier due to a modification on my homemade tool and was accomplished without removing the wheel. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
