Everytime I messed with my timing belt, I pulled all slack out of the belt on the intake side, slipped the belt onto the gears (with them aligned properly), then let the tensioner take out all of the slack in the belt. Doing it this way allows all belt slack to be between the exhaust cam gear and crankshaft timing gear, meaning nothing will move while tensioning the belt.
Don't know if that's the right way to do things, but it's worked great for me and keeps it as a 1 man job
