I believe the the automatics are the same way. You may be able to use and open-end wrench at an angle to get it or try a crows foot wrench. If you use the crow's foot try one that goes on a 3/8" ratchet.
Thanks David

"I believe the the automatics are the same way"
Seems I remember its a 15mm lock nut that you turn while holding the knob (at least on my 240Ds)

Oh, that's right. I'm sorry. I remember now that it was something else but you posted a thread after you had it done. Sorry about that.
Thanks David
