offset handle ratchet helps, but from under the car is what I do

They can be done from the top with a swivel ratchet, a solid ratchet and the right combination of sockets and extensions. IIRC, I use a straight, non universal, socket with a 1" extension and swivel ratchet on the passenger side to clear the AC housing. On the driver's side, I use a universal socket and whichever extension works. To avoid broken knuckles, dont use universal sockets with a swivel ratchet. I use Snap On tools which allow the best clearance.

Doing them from the bottom is the easiest way for me.

Also, please turn off the Caps Lock key. It's poor netiquette, it's like you are yelling all the time.
