you got loosen the timing belt tensioner and spin the engine by hand one way. Until the belt gets tight, then tighten it up. It sucks because everytime you do this timing seems to be off. Take a few tries if you took of your timing belt.

turn the crank counter clockwise slowly and count three teeths on the cam, then tighten the tensioner bolt.
