With many Timing Belt replacements under my belt, I almost feel silly for asking but..
The Tensioner, I never replaced mine before. In fact it's still nice and quiet. I know the book says that you pull back on the Belt and put a Drill bit in the hole of the Rod. I never did that, I always pull back on the belt and retighten the Tensioner bolt. It holds it long enough to put the new belt on.

But replacing the tensioner means that the Spring loaded bar will be coming apart. What is the clean way of taking the spring and rod from the old tensioer to the new one and contract it so you can get the new belt on? Basically how do I squeeze the spring when I transfer it to the new Tensioner? Vise? not sure how stiff that spring really is.
