So, I'm doing my first ever head job on my 95 Del Sol, and I've run into a bit of an issue. I've got the head back on with the new HG, but I've now realized that getting the timing belt back on is going to be a problem. It's super tight and the tensioner is a b**** to get to. Are there any tricks for getting it back on without digging down to the tensioner or am I just going to have to suffer through disassembling everything on that side of the engine bay to get to it?

The tensioner is a 6pt 14mm bolt. You can use a short 14mm socket (with socket wrench) along with a metal pipe for leverage. That's what I use and it breaks loose easily.
