Jim, you probably already know this, but for the benefit of others, you break the track between the sprocket and the rear bogie wheel.
If the tracks are not even, the carrier "walks" to one side and you need to continually correct as you drive.

Jim, a very easy way is to Put your idler tensioner wheel in the minimum position, Fit your track winch, split the track where Lynn said.( Between bottom of sprocket and rear bogie) then simply tighten your winch and let the track overlap until you get the amount of tension you want, then just remove the excess track and rejoin. Count your links and do the same to the other side.
Hope this helps.
Colin.
