Default Jumped timing- Belt tensioner?

My 91 sedan stock d15 jumped timing a couple months ago, now that its getting warmer I wanted to see if I could getting running again.

I know theres a good chance i bent a valve since it stopped completely but i wanna give it a shot, i only need to get to a garage for its new heart.

My question is, is it absolutely necessary to loosen the tensioner to get the belt off the cam gear? I just need to put it at tdc and line the crank up i believe. Unless the tensioner is easily accessible? I know its right above the crank pulley but i feel like that would be difficult to get to.
