Vash,
You have lost some weight, right? I am sure you can get in there with your girly hands if they aren't like this:
It is amazing what you can get at with the right set of locking and swivel extension, swivel sockets and a little creativity. That doesn't look bad at all IMHO.
That said, I hate scratching up my hands - definitely wear a nice set of mechanix gloves or at least vinyl.
