Seems easier than removing the rear tensioner, which is an absolute pita to get at.

Be careful doing zip tie trick, your chain can still jump crank sprocket.
You can do screwdriver holding tensioner but you usually need 3 hands to set cams and hold screwdriver. If you make little tool and insert in tensioner it makes life easier.
