97 XJ 5 spd trans fill plug question

Another question I didn't find an answer to after some searching. I want to change the gear oil in my '97 Cherokee's gearbox (5 spd, 4X4, Up Country suspension). Should be easy enuf, yes? But what tool or socket arrangement is best to use? 1) the fill nut is bigger than my largest socket, 2) metric or inches?, 3) the head is very shallow and it's right next to the slave cylinder mechanism. Given some winter time usage, the nut looks a bit corroded. I'd hate to damage either it or the clutch works trying to loosen/remove the fill nut. Advice (or point me to a thread)? Thanks!!
