I saw the centering tool on ebay for $10 or something really cheap like that.

I'm not sure how necessary this is if we're talking about the same tool. The tool I'm thinking of requires removal of the IP then installation of the tool. Since there's a time neither the IP nor tool is touching the timer, I conclude the tool is not mandatory if you don't turn the crank or release the tensioner.
When I removed an IP to replace the big o-ring, I left the timer hanging on the chain with zip ties. The zip ties were optional. The timer wasn't going anywhere and neither was the chain. I didn't remove the tensioner.
