There are a lot of places on our cars where removing/replacing parts almost requires a body built like a spider monkey. Unfortunately, I have forearms like Popeye. Toot-toot. I've just gotten used to visualizing where my hand needs to be based on the diagram/pic, then persistently ramming/wiggling/jamming/cursing/flexing/wriggling until I'm there. I worry about *disengaging* my arm after the fact.
One thing that helps me out in the engine bay is keeping a step-stool handy, so I can get the most advantageous angle of approach for getting into tight places.
Good luck!
