Order from Mercedes dealer.
You don't necessarily need a special tool. I made one using the proper sized bolt long enough to put a couple of nuts on, then tighten them. Then use a box wrench on the middle bolt, or even an open end.

I think that one was a 47 mm, so I used something a bit larger than 1-3/5, which is about 45mm.

I drained one maybe 20 years ago, when large metric allen wrenches and such tools were dealer only or Germany only.
