Can the timing cover on the passenger side (2.8l V6 - 12V) be removed without taking the serpentine belt tensioner out first?

Driver side always comes out without issue (2 snaps).
Passenger 2 snaps loose, cover loose, but (not using quite some force) coming off. Seems to be hanging at the low end.

Need advise, tip to get the darn thing off.

I don't want to take the whole front of the car off (to get the belt tensioner off to get the cover off).

IIRC there's a third clip along the bottom part of that cover. Once you pop that, you can remove it. Putting it back can be a pain though.

 

Took front off, removed serp belt tensioner. Then cover comes out.
No third clip.
Still can't figure out why it is not coming off.
To me it looks like it can't come off with the tensioner in place.

Can someone confirm that it is supposed to come off?

I may then 'analyze' further what the problem is.
