Manual gearbox oil change

Am I right in thinking that it's just ATF that goes in? Any tips for getting access, I had a look and I thaught I'd just use a bolt and two nuts locked up to get the plugs out?
Also how difficult is it to change the gearbox seal at the clutch end of the shaft? And on the engine output shaft seal? I have a reasonably bad leak from one of those two.
Cheers!

Depending on how long its been since the drain and fill plugs were undone I reckon your better off buying the tool its not that expensive you can them from any good motor spares.

TBH I am not 100% sure about the ATF although it does ring bells have you checked the recommendation in the user manual or with Mercedes?

Access to fill hole on a valver is poor I used sump plug set which has holes through them to put a bar in, makes the job much easier, the drain hole is not

a problem, dont know about the seals sorry.
