Default cam chain tension release issue

So i used this guide to look into shimming valves and it all seems great, no problems... except for one...

https://cbrforum.com/forum/stickies-9...-guide-101969/

Where it talks about unscrewing the bolt in the back of the CCT and then using a screwdriver to i THINK release the tension on the cam chain to get the cams out, Well i dont have that bolt. my CCT bolts onto the motor with the 2 bolts and thats it the rest is smooth. So before i make a wrong move i am guessing i would just completely remove the tensioner to do this job?

thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out. I really need it.

ALSO, i am looking to do this based on a engine rattle i get only on hot starts after fueling up or running into the store kind of stuff, which doesnt sound like your typical worn out CCT and besides valves i cant imagine what it might be.

Link's bad.... but yes the original cct only has the two bolts that fix it into the engine, I'd assume in the sample engine there must be a manual APE style cct. Just lift it out after unscrewing.
