Some manuals have a procedure for measuring the height of the oil added back to determine the proper amount, but the tube needs to be upright to do that. I think they want you to get all the oil oil out and inspect for wear etc too. But if you want to do a simple oil change, you will have to remove the front calipers and wheel to access the drain plug. And you will need to remove the top cap to refill. Just be sure to not overfill the oil.
Youll need to remove front axle to access drain plugs. Have an extended Allen bit ready. Had to use the torque of an impact to get mine off. Dont need to remove forks.

so the drain screw looks like its inside the axle bearing housing according to the diagram, does that sound right?
On one of the forks its a solid piece so youll need something like tool pictured. See if these pics help. I also put a new copper washers on the two bolts.
