Go under truck, use correct size socket (for whatever reason 13mm comes to mind??) remove pan, let drain, remove filter, replace filter, replace pan, fill.

Man its not hard at all, first you have to take out about 12 bolts 2 of them are connected to your shifting cable , and those you will have to get at with a gear wrench or open end box wrench. I want to say 11 or 12 millimeter, then be ready to catch some tranny fluid because your going to lose some as your lowering the pan. Then you will pull the filter out just by wiggling it and pulling down. there is a rudder or soft plastic washer at the top of that filter and sometimes they don't come out with the filter so make sure you see some kind of washer when you pull it out. Installing the new one you'll see what washer I'm talking about there will be a new one in the box very very important. Anyway then you will notice inside the tranny pan that there is a flat magnet probably with some gooey stuff on it, clean it off, and put it back inside the little indention in the pan you took it out of then just simply re'install the pan leaving the two hardest bolts for last fill with new tranny fluid and go do some donuts. ya right I hope this helped seriously
