Don't worry about working at height - on axles stands - or on a lift. Do it on the floor:-
1) Get yourself a 14mm allen key with a length of tubing (I used water pipe) or a 14mm allen socket and a T bar (you'll could bust a ratchet)
2) Put the allen key / socket into the fill or drain plug.
3) Crawl back out from under the car and lie on your back - scoot back under head at the back of the car feet going towards the front.
4) Put your feet onto the T bar or pipe and put your weight onto it whilst holding your self on your back bumper!
They'll come loose in the end.
As always be careful and work safe - good sturdy work boots are a must.
