oops...
the tensioner has a bolt hole where you can screw a stud in and screw a nut onto it to release the tension and slide the pin back in to hold it while you're working on it. be careful and good luck!

When I did mine, I honestly counted the teeth on each belt about 8 times....
I once did a timing belt on a V6 without using the cam-locking bar, and one cam ended up a tooth off. Luckily, I double-checked it before I ran the engine.
By the way, I used the M5x55 bolt, with an extra nut and washer to release the tension.... Worked quite well.

You're in MN too aren't you, I remeber seeing your post and thinking I really should be
watching and or helping with that since mine will be due next summer. My attention to detail can be somewhat lax at times, but I best pay attention when doing this job.
