No experience of a 75 but I did this job on my Megane recently.

There was a little link pin that goes through the tensioner to hold it in place when fully retracted.

I then had to loosen one and remove the rest of the bolts securing the tensioner to the engine, and then used the bolt head on the front of the tensioner to lever it back a bit further.

This gave me (just!) enough slack to put the belt on.

With the belt fully installed I could then put it all back and do the bolts up.
