I used to use a 6" or 8" C-clamp to compress the tensioner. It is not easy because the clamp slips away. Now I simply use a pair of wide jaw adjustable pliers to clamp on the tensioner with my right hand and remove the already loosened idler pulley with the left hand. Installation is the same. Compress the tensioner with the pliers sufficiently to fit the idler pulley and hand tighten the bolt. Then tighten it to spec.
There are a few other ingenius ways to do it. Check the archive.
