When you have the right tools and do it enough times, it does not take that much time.

If the timing belt job is done properly the pin should just slide right into the tensioner, or use the tensioner tool to compress it a little if the belt has stretched.

Again with the right tools it could be done. From what I have seen if you need to pull the head on a DSM then it should be time to replace the timing belt, water pump, pulleys, and tensioners.

So no, this saves more then 20 minutes  |
It would seem you do this a lot, so time it either way and report back.
