Early Prod. 99 GT - tensioner question

Looks as if I can't slip the serpentine belt off the pulleys after I rotate the tensioner clockwise. I figured out that the bracket need to come off first, but how does the belt get past the tensioner "arm"

This is a 99 GT - production date January '99 . You guys with the later production models have a much simpler task.

Thanks .
