it depends on the vehicle but usually 5 minutes to 15 i have personally changed several myself and im not a mechanic by trade. Most have 2 bolts and a tension bolt for the belt
some cars require the radiator and the a/c condenser to be taken out just to see the alternator (2000) cadi deville book time is 3 hrs plus a a/c recharge and coolant flush. i wouldn't say 5 or ten minutes all car have a labor guide for all labor related repairs chilton and motor manuals you can go to a public library and get info on disc or books . i repaired autos for 35 years and you would not believe the places they put these things average time is 1 hr. and includes load test and alt output test

First you need to remove the radiator to get to it. Once you remove the radiator you have room to work. Second take the top bolt off the alternator and then the long bolt, do not forget to take the belt off the alternator before remove the it.
