Entity Matthew Pollard spoke thus:

You don't need no stinkin' special tools. You can lever the tensioning
pulley with a large screwdriver from under the wheel, there is a freeze plug
there conveniently located for leverage.

Ensure that the slot on the flywheel end of the cam is parallel with the rim
of the head, you can use a vice-grip to lock it in place while you install
the belt. If you remove the toothed pulley it is a little more strenuous.

Because the engine is set at TDC during the operation the pump is popping
backwards, this is the toughest part of the job. After the belt is on but
before you tighten the tensioner you can jump notches to position the pump.

GOOD LUCK!
