It takes less than 10 minutes to do. You don't have to pull the bottom cover it's pretty easy to do from the top. Just loosen the two tensioner pully center bolts a little then back out the adjuster bolts directly under the tensioner pulleys. Swap out the belts and tighten tensioner bolts till you can only twist the belt by hand about a quarter turn then tighten center bolts of tensioner pulleys. You don't want to over tighten them or you could cause bearing damage to one of the components run by the belts.
If either belt squeels repeat adjustment by loosening center bolt and tightening tensioner bolt just a little more.
