I use a shorty wrench, and just reach down there and turn it. But I also have it loosened about every 6mo or so.

15mm socket, u-joint, 12" extension, ratchet, in that order.
Or even better:
15mm swivel socket, 12" extension, ratchet.

Loosening wasn't the problem for me. Tightening it up w/o turning the distributor and making sure it was nice and snug was tough.
