Very easy then - just remove the under shield and firstly check you have a drain and fill bung as not all do!
If so then check you can open the filler before warming the engine and gearbox up - then drain the oil and fill up just like an engine oil change.

Thanks, i can see what appears to be the drain plug but nowhere can I see the filler, has this got to be accessed from the top? ::)
