I'm not sure how difficult it would be for mine, although I'm sure I could just YouTube it. My SUV is a newer vehicle, but it's one of the few newer vehicles where the components under the hood aren't obstructed by a bunch of "pretty plastic." My previous newer car was that way, which made doing simple things, like replacing the headlights, kind of a pain in the ass. Although it wasn't too bad.

Really what it comes down to is the size of the vehicle and the orientation of the motor. If it's transversly mounted in the engine bay the belt and accessories are right next to the fender. If it's longitudinally mounted everything is right up front and behind the radiator which is much easier to work on. Transverse mounted engines usually require the machanic to remove the iner fender well to access anything. In the case of my current project car I have to half pull the motor in order to replace the belt tensioner.
