Answer
Put on the belt except the tensioner. It will be the last. Then take a 15mm sized wrench (a long one, or try to make longer by a metal tube). Put it on the tensioner's screw and rotate it counter-clockwise to loosing it, push the belt on, than release tensioner. That's all.
p.s: you should take off the ventillator! (it's left handed)
