You should be able to do it yourself. I have with no problems.
Jack it up and get it on jack stands, take most the bolts out of the cover (leave a few top ones in) then pry the bottom away and let it drain. Seal it back up and refill.

Use a 3/8 extension to remove the fill plug. Once you look at everything, it will become clear.
