Adjust so as to steer a different way (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reset

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'adjust so' is the definition.
'reset' can be an answer for 'adjust' (resetting is a kind of adjusting). I am not sure about the 'so' bit.

'to steer a different way' is the wordplay.
'a different way' indicates an anagram.
'steer' is an anagram of 'RESET'.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reset that I've seen before include "Restore to zero" , "do this to make adjustment" , "Steer so as to fix broken bone" , "fix position again" , "Replanted" .)
