wrap it around in the correct order, leave the tensioner till last, line it up so its almost ready to go on, then push back the tension and slip the belt on.

Watch the crank pully as it tends not to sit right first go

No.

On my V6 I use a 15mm socket and a breaker bar on the tensioner retaining nut to push it back.

How did you take it off? :-/
