Seeking pictures/diagrams identifying pulley assembly 1992 500SL
Hi folks! Had a perfect storm of issues occur with my 1992 Mercedes 500SL a few days ago. The lights were mistakenly left on by my better half and the car was jump started. All was seemingly fine until the alternator went out the next day. Clearly battery run down too much and alternator burned out trying to charge. So alternator replaced, belt and battery replaced (end of useful life). Car started fine..all was calm in SL world and then the lights came on shortly after driving...all of them..looked like a Range Rover so many pretty colours. Further investigation..the pulley that is close to the power steering reservoir is wobbley. It appears the entire tensioner assembley needs to be replaced as we cannot keep the belt taught.
What I am seeking are perhaps pictures and diagrams both of the tensioner assembly so I can clearly identify what needs to be replaced..use it to compare. I have viewed a simple diagram drawing and it just not quite enough info for me to purchase the proper parts. Any help would be most appreciated and thanks in advance!

Plutoe....thank you very very much that helped tremendously! Question I have..do you know where I might locate a photograph of the tensioner etc. so I can compare with what I have.. I am discovering this car is a bit of a bother ordering parts for so before I start ordering I want to be sure.
