A170CDi Belt change

[StevieJB]

Hi there
Can anyone tell me if the Alternator belt can be changed on a 2001 facelift A Class easily.
I believe it is a toothed belt at the bottom of the right hand side of the engine, and it looks impossible to change because of lack of room. How many miles should it be changed, it is squeeling.
