by the aux belt i take it you mean the single v belt that operates the power steering pump (if memory serves me well)

in a nut shell yes

you will need to loosen all the mounting bolts for the pump then the 13mm nut in the middle of the adjusting nut, when all are loose you should be able to move it no probs. Dont force it if it doesn't move as you will strip the teeth off the adjuster (if they havent already been stripped).If they have been stripped you just move it the old fashioned way-=-A big crowbar
