How do i go about tensioning the pulley?

it says to use a special tool with dowels in order to turn it?

do i need something like that..or will the threaded bar hold it in place?

What! you don't have one of those funky little two pronged torque wrenches either eh?

From http://www.vfaq.com/mods/timingbelt-1G.html

Push the balancer belt tensioner up (clockwise) to place pressure on the balancer belt so that the tension side is taut. Belt tension should be 5-7 mm (.20-.28 in.) using the belt deflection method. Tighten the tensioner center bolt and torque to 15-22 Nm (11-16 ft. lbs.) Note there is an easy way to set the tension - if you pry up on the pulley with a screwdriver until the spacing between the pulley and oilpump case (between roughly 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the pulley) is even, the tension will be correct. (Figure 9).

if you dont have the special tool then just get a skinny drill bit that will fit in one of those two little holes and push up. easy
