No its easy if it is a plastic body one.
Maybe first empy out the oil
First knock the top curved bit off by putting it across a vice and hitting the centre with a punch. It is pretty loose so be ready to catch the jack.

Next knock the collar around by using a pin punch or grab it with a set of multigrips and undo.
the whole body will then lift off and you can recover your plug. The body may be a bit tight at first as ther eis an Oring at the top and a big gasket all around teh bottom, but maybe give it a couple of twists.

Be careful not to damage either gasket as the top oring is very skinny and not generally available and the bottom one is a specific gasket.

Find your plug inside and reverse the procedure and refill to the filler hole with some oil. I used power steering fluid in mine.
