I have read this from other forums when replacing camshafts...
you can use a broom stick and 1-2 house bricks to keep the tension on the cam sprocket or upright the bonnet with a piece of wood and tie off the sprocket tight to the bonnet latch metal loop with rope or wire. So no need too loosen the tensioner. Just remember TDC and a couple of cable ties on the sprocket so the timing chain don't move.

pull apart a few felt tip pens until you find the right size tubing
