How involved is alternator replacement on an '01 Sonata? Is it fairly straightforward as in older american cars? Or, is it much more involved?

if it's on the 2.4L, you have to remove the cruise control at top right strut town, then remove a bolt from the power steering hose bracket. remove alternator through the top. not too bad, about 20 mins or so to replace.
