How can I replace the timing belt tesioner on a 1995 Mazda B2300?

How do I replace the timing belt tesioner on a 1995 maxda B2300--without any special tools?? how do I get the tensioner retracted so that the belt can slip onto all the sprockets?? The spring for the tensioner is so tough that I am having trouble compressing it.
