I'm going to have to try this method, out of interest - I personally go the other way, but am sure to leave the required slack between crank and tensioner...

If you go a/clockwise, which side do you use the wedge?  :y

If you start by putting the wedge in on the left (as your standing at the front) go over the idler (making sure the arrow is at 3 o'clock) first then to Cam 4 pulling the belt as tight as you can get it, then when you get to the tensioner if you have done it properly the belt should just go over the tensioner. :y
