Not that hard...
Always loosen the 'Fill' plug (on the drivers side, near the CV joint) first. Make sure you can get it out before draining the transmission!
Either on a hoist, or jacked up so the car is level...
Loosen the fill plug,
Loosen the drain plug, place a pail under, and remove the plug.
Allow it to drain, replace the fill plug, torque to spec in Bentley. Fill in the fill hole... it's a pain to get in there, you might want to use an oil pump, or a piece of hose.
Search the forum for oil spec's. I recommend Motul MotylGear 75W90.

loosen the bottom one...
let it drain.
tighten the bottom one back up
make sure your car is level
start filling it back up from the side plug
when its the oil start poring out from the side, that means your turkey is done
tighten the bolt back up
