There is a little plate on the front of the timing cover held on by 2 10mm bolts. Remove this and then crack the 10mm bolt that you find underneath. Push the guide down and lock the bolt back up.

This however is only adjusting the balance shaft chain and if the rattle is still there then you may need to put a chain and guide kit through it.

Hope this helps.
