83 300D Air Cleaner Bracket problems

Hello all; Regarding the replacement of the Turbo Diesel Air Cleaner Bracket on my 1983 300D Turbodiesel, how does one remove the lowermost bolt to remove it? I tried a few things, and nothing worked. Special tool? Flexible socket extension perhaps??? ALSO, In messing around with it, I found that the little metal pipe that sticks into the bottom of the air filter housing seems a bit loose now. (think it returns oil to engine???) It definitely has play - moves several inches in fact. Looks like a nightmare to get to. Is some play normal? How does one tighten that up, if needed? Thanks so much. All the best...
