I really have never struggled to undo the cap, I don't understand why/how people struggle. I use a small 8mm spanner to get them finger loose then whip them out. No point getting extensions and all sorts in there when space is tight anyway, stick to a spanner and you have plenty of room. You could use a ratchet spanner on the outer two if you wanted but I doubt there would be enough room for the middle one at the top.

I pulled a cap and rotor from a car in a scrapyard a couple of weeks ago in less than 5 minutes, don't forget the bonnet latches that allow you to open the bonnet completely vertical for a bit of extra room. This was on a turbo A/C car too so the least amount of room available just like my car and it still wasn't hard.

Try changing the spark plugs on a Bentley Arnage/continental GT/Bentayga or any of the 70's-90's turd boxes they made and then talk to me about lack of working space, the caps have a massive amount of room around them compared to those junkers.
