13MM 6 point socket on a 8" wobble typ 3/8" drive extension .
Remove that bolt and expect to drop it the first time you do the job.....
It *must* have a flat 8MM washer ! . that too , will fall and be lost .
Sunday I took the whole day off and drove SWMBO 'round in her '82 240D with the R-12 charged AC set to " Meat Locker " , when I spotted a Union 76 filling station in the late afternoon with $4.27 / gallon Diesel fuel , I stopped and filled it , adding three Oz. of Power Service Cetane Boost , checked the underhood fluids and marveled a while at the now repaired air filter and unbroken intake manifold all shaking as the worn out engine idled in gear with the AC on as I checked the ATF .
It used no oil this last tank of fuel , no ATF either .
She'd said we could overhaul both the engne and tranny this past August but Anton's College Car had issues and it's eating up most of that budget dammit .
Work slowly and over a flat cement area Chip , this job is do-able , just a PIA the first time (or three) you do it .
I highly suggest spending slightly more for the hexagonal rubber air cleaner mounts .

I mad a couple of tries with a socket and ratchet but decided I would ask this board what works on the removal of that bolt?
