Serpentine Belt Replacement- 2012 CLS 550
Greetings,
I am trying to replace my Belt on the 2012 CLS 550 I just purchased.
Can anyone direct me to the location of tensioner fastener that is used to compress the tensioner to allow the belt to be removed?
I have located the tensioner but can't find the fastener that will compress the tensioner. There are two small Torex bolts but they are not big enough IMO to compress the tensioner, I will snap them. There has to be something else, I am expecting a 17MM nut or similar.
Any help will be appreciated.
RF
