Also have heard split opinions. Do you use the E10 torx to release belt pressure or a 15mm socket (the screw behind the torx)?
I tried the 15mm and am afraid I actually loosened the tensioner? Might be in my head buts it has a slight wobble and had too much play imo.
Should I tighten that 15mm screw or should I tighten the 2 screws that hold it in place?

But more importantly, if these aren't to be found anymore, what are you doing if it breaks?
Rock Auto and https://www.autohausaz.com/ have them. You just need to search under SLK32 AMG, and the price is reasonable.
