Auxilary belt

Is this easy to change DIY? or do you need specialist tools?
Ive been quoted £35 to change the aux belt and air con belt by my garage but if it is something relativly easy to do I would prefer to do myself

Is this a labour only or all in price?

The aux belt doesn't look too bad, the aircon belt looks like it needs a special tool.
