Tensioner Help

Heres the story, I went to go put the belt back on after doing my dual pass install and the head that you put the 15mm open end on stripped evidently the wrench I was using sucked and stripped it is there any ideas?

I used a pry bar and pried down on the pulley from under that stock engine hoist point. Not such a good idea, but it'll get the job done.

I used needle nose vise grips and they kept slipping off thats all that would fit on there due to the engine hoist bracket.

the tensioner is completely hosed, but I didnt find a cool tool at pulleyboys.com that is cheaper than getting a new tensioner so Im pickup the tool and will use that hopefully it should be here on friday.
