It is sort of difficult, you can't replace them all unless you remove the water pump pulley, which means that you have to loosen/remove the fan shroud, fan, and fan clutch. I'd recommend a manual to find the adjustment points and the proper tension figures. Unless you are a mechanic for a living some of the adjustments are not obvious. Too much tension (figures are different for new vs used belts) will dramatically shorten the lives of alternator/water pump/power steering pump bearings (expensive).
