Serpentine Replacement

Where is the serpentine belt tensioner on a 1991 Mercedes SE 6 cylinder and is there a special tool needed to retract it so I can install a new belt?

The attached diagrams shows how to replace the serpentine belt. The adjuster bolt is prone to break easily. Ensure the holding screw(#16 ) is sufficiently loose.
