I accomplished this with a small screwdriver and a small set of vice grips.

I am 5"11 and 185lbs and it sucked getting into position. I removed the carpeting (even that extra .5" helped). My biggest problem was not getting the screwdriver in place, it was getting enough torque on the tiny driver to break the screws loose (mine were painted with mechanic's lacquer). I solved this by griping the screwdriver handle with the small vice grips at a right angle to the driver. I used one hand to hold the driver in place and the other to turn. It worked, but was a PIA. The worst part is that I did it for no reason; the issue turned out to be a bad clock spring.
