use a spanner with a sharper bend.

 

or an airgun.

Or you can get an open backed ratchet, I bought one of the right size from a local car parts place for about £30. Word of warning though, the original top nuts were a different size from the ones which came with my bilsteins, and the new nuts I got from Peugeot were a different size again.
