Stephen,

I'm not sure about the size of the bolt head but when I did mine I found that the appropriate socket on a short extension, UJ, long extension then ratchet was enough to get mine out. I was able to lean in from the passenger side and locate the socket on the bolt with one hand whilst manipulating the ratchet with the other. This was on a B230F with LH2.4 though so it only required one bolt to get it out, if you're removing the bracket from the bell housing I think it might be more complex.

Hope that helps,

Alex
