Just preparing myself. Planning to take it slow.
I stuck my whole arm up there so I had maybe a 6" extension at most. Yes 1/4" drive tools would be best, that's what I used as well.

Be careful ball end sockets are so fragile they will easily break, I recommend a hex key to remove the bolts initially and then ball end sockets to tighten the bolts at the end. Because at the beginning there's still enough room between the oil line and diverter valve for a hex key to fit but at the end there isn't.
