Okay, I removed the belt yesterday and it was a piece of cake. I guess the trick is that, as mentioned, the tensioner moves very slowly. So when you remove the bolt holding the tensioner pulley on, it doesn't go flying off across the room as I kinda feared. I also noticed that the tensioner itself (the pluinger thingie) is held on by 2 bolts that go through slotted holes, so I suppose you could loosen those two bolts a bit first. But even without that, it was very non-dramatic.
My gasket set arrives soon. Looking forward to a clean and shiny motor for years to come...
