My standard 46 mm socket wouldn't fit between the strainer and the axel with the breaker bar. I got the special low profile socket from Mercedes Source and it worked great. Or you could weld a 1/2 inch bolt into the 1/2 inch square hole of a socket. The biggest part of the job is draining the tank.
Good luck.
