If you can't get your arm under the manifold, you'll have to get at them from underneath the car. It's prick of a spot, but they don't make em as easy as they used to be...

Marry a girl with long skinny arms and a sense of humour; it worked for me. Or you could try training an octopus; I mean they meant to be the world's most intelligent inverterbrate and they have 8 arms so they could change all the leads at once while pouring you a beer.
The long nosed bent pliers from K-Mart are also the go.
