im assuming i can?? wind a screw in the tensioner to give it a little slack and remove and apply waterpump. reason i ask is the last 2 times i did the timing belt, i couldnt get the timing right....always a tooth off and had to get my vw mechanic buddy to correct my wrong.

Possibly... but just go with the mark and match method, never failed me before, whiteout or nailpolish on the belt and gears and just match it back up.
