Hey guys, i've read around the forum and others and can only find information on replacing the timing belt etc. What my concern is Can i use the special tool to compress the tensioner and then remove it, But leave the idle bearing locked in its correct position since all i'm replacing is the seals and the same belt and tensioner will be re used?

If your taking the belt off, replace it. No point in takin such a big risk for the sake of $80.
You can compress the Hydraulic tensioner with a G-Clamp if need be. If you do not back off the 14mm bolt that holds the eccentric tensioner pulley you *should* be ok. Just make sure after you turn it over, release the pin, then turn it over again that the marks line up and the belt deflection is not too tight but not lose. I think the spec is like 3-5mm defelection.
