Thanks to you steve, I finally fixed it and now have a perfect infinity focus !
It was not so easy though, for those who have the Auto MC 50mm 1.7 with the orange and green front plastic ring :
- this ring is not screwed but glued with neopren, you need a tiny flat screwdriver to remove it and you'll easily scratch a little the filters holder
- once removed, you have to remove another metal protecting part that has 3 philips screws
- once this done, you can access 3 not headed locking screws, you must unscrew them enough to let the focus ring move alone
- what I did is I went further than infinity in a first step (when ring is on infinity stop), and then turned the ring while pressing on it towards me until I got the sharpness background I could get (with camera LCD zooming). Once found, I turned gently the ring avoiding it to change focus (free rotation) until reaching the infinity stop. Then screwed back the 3 lockers and mounted all covers, done
These are the pictures taken before and after the repair, both with focus on infinity :

of course these are centerd crops of about 10% of the whole photo, both are taken at f/4 for sharper rendering

NB : the screws I found were all philips, so the repair costed me nothing except time
