Cannot Get Timing Belt On S90-V90 1998

I know when the belt was changed. Everything looked fine under there.

I managed to get the belt on. It was a sneaky and probably dumb way to do it, but I have two kids and only the weekend evenings for this project. I pulled the tensioner off altogether and slipped the belt on just fine. Then, I ended up loosening the bolts on the cam gears and turning them to meet the teeth of the belt as I had it pulled taught. Then I turned the gears to pull some extra tension, then tightened the bolts. Then I finagled the tensioner back on. Convoluted? Yes. Probability of messing up timing? Medium. Does the car run just fine? You bet.

Thanks to everyone for your responses! This forum and the people in it rock.
