a socket and a ratchet should do the trick if you can get your hand in there if not slide a pipe over the end of the ratchet you dont need to relaese it much for it to come off A 3/8" hinge handle should do the trick.

(2)Hold the tensioner in the released position. Install a new belt and make sure it is routed correctly. Be sure the ribs of the new belt engage the pulley ribs correctly. Release the tensioner.
