I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the M271 motor but here are the documents that I have for the camshaft.

While replacing the intake valves on my old C230 I broke the front of the that exact camshaft bolt off removing the cover plate:

My friend removed the cam sprocket:

And used this genuine OEM Mercedes tool to hold the back of the cam vertically while twisting the front nut off:

On a more serious note:

If the cam is still in the car and you just need to loosen/remove the bolt off the end there should be some flat sides you can put a wrench on and twist it off.
If you have both cams exposed you might want to put a wrench on both. One to hold it steady and the other to apply power. Otherwise the engine might try to turn over as you turn 1.

Ayy bro did you figure out if you need the alignment tool kit just to get off the cam bolt ? I just need to get the bolt off too to clean but not tryna order and wait for the tool kit if I don’t need to take anything else off
