I can change the engine oil with out any issues, but I don't want to screw up the rest
See http://www.oregonvintage.com/250cvt.pdf.

Tips:
1- use masking tape on the outside of the cover to hold on rubber gasket during installation.
2 - use pliers to align and start threading the cvt cover bolts into their holes (a ratchet socket won't hold the bolts straight/up for the initial alignment/threading).

NOTE!!!: the 172MM CF-MOTO engine manual (the Duke 250 engine) and the Honda Helix 250CN manual (what the 172MM engine was cloned from), and the Duke 250 owners manual say to use 10/w30 oil in the gearbox, not the heavier 70w90 oil mentioned in the link!!!
