To try doing it that way, man I don't even know if that's possible or not, it'd be tough. You could try removing just the pulley on the tightener, but I don't think you'd have enough room. There is that metal clip that holds the rod to the piece on the back of the tensioner, so you'd have to unclip the old one and remove the rod, then slip the new one in (keeping the nut under the bracket) and reclip it. I just don't know if you can do it.
To do it right you'd need to remove the big "Y" shaped bracket in front of the tesioner, and remove the large central bolt that holds the tenioner to the accessory bracket. To remove the Y piece you need to remove all 3 bolts, and the one seperate bolt in by the timing cover you almost would have to remove the pulley that drives the fan, and to remove that, the fan has to be removed.
