That all depends on your ability. Here is a similar job done on a MS250, best make sure the oiler pinion is OK and the arm on it hasn't had its end worn off or is loose on the plastic pinion once the clutch is off and before you remove the pump. 

You can try a bit of watering down the oil with diesel/spirit before this but in my experience, it is easier just to do the full job.

It is rare when I do these machines as they are relatively low cost so don't get to do them too often. The oil pump is like the ones in the pole saw attachments and do those more regularly. 

Just follow it through - when you pull the pump out, make a note of the positioning of the oil channels on the pump and make sure it is pushed back in with the channels in the same position otherwise you will block the oilways.

Good luck
