it's that little rubber peice in the middle of that lower timing belt cover. Just pull it off and stick a 14mm socket in there and loosen it.
Why exactly are you taking the TB off? You do know eveything has to be at TDC before you take it off right? And if you don't know what bolt the guy in the above quote is talking about or 3 teeth I believe you should leave your TB alone and let a professional do what you need to be done.

when you have the tb on and everything is TDC turn the crank so that the gears spin about 3-4 teeth. Then tighten the tensioner. Not that hard.
