Question HCHII Trans fluid & filter change tips

HCHII Trans fluid & filter change tips
We are considering changing the fluid in our transmission ourselves and wondered if anyone has any tips. Any suggestions would be appreciated. We plan on changing the fluid and filter every 20,000 to 25, 000 miles.
