S1 Alternator Belt

Is it a big job to tighten my alternator belt on my S1? I hope the rear clam does not require removal alomng with the engine, etc.

1. Jack up drivers side
2. Remove O/S/R wheel and arch liner
3. Loosen 15mm nuts on top pivot bolt and the bolt through the slider at the bottom.
4. Turn adjuster bolt (8mm head) clockwise to tighten belt
5. Retighten two 15mm nuts
6. Replace arch liner and wheel
