Installing pressure chain tensioner 4-6 how do you maintain tension?

Hey experts

3.2 Carrera rebuild, timed my cams, bled my Carrera tensioners and am ready for the swap from the Stomskis I used to time the engine. I'd like to maintain tension on the right bank chain 4-6 so I keep the timing spot on and can make the swap (same line of thought as Wayne's rebuild book).

How do you guys keep tension on the idler arm for the swap on the right bank (pictured)? I can't come up with a good leverage point or clamp that will stay clear of the removal of the Stomski piece and not interfere with the install of the factory unit.

Thanks!
