The simplest way is to read the manual and follow it

Except it omits the vital step of slackening the torque arm bolts before moving the adjusters... a quick search on this site before tackling the job would have rewarded Tubz with more useful info than the manual.

It's not vital to loosen it off every time you adjust the chain. It's only important to be sure that it isn't rusted and seized solid so it can move the way it's supposed to. Once it's not rusted it'll move fine without loosening it
