The tensioner has a square hole that you stick the extension into.

To put the 2 posts together quickfix through the passenger side wheel well you can use a long extension and turn the tensioner that way to install the belt. It can be done without the long extension as well inside the engine compartment.

Or if the square hole is busted off like mine was then you take a floor jack, a 2x4 cut to fit, push up the tensioner, be really really careful, and pray.
