Default Is there any easy way to get the ABS controller off the side of the ABS unit?

I can't get to about 3 of the 6 screws without taking apart the drivers side of the car. Not really sure if even removing the windshield washer fluid reservouir would help much... and that just looks like a pain to get out. Anyone have any tips as to how to get this controller off, i'm starting to think just changing half of the controller is just as big of a PITA as trying to change the whole thing. TIA

Default right, it wasn't easy

<center><img src="http://content.sears.com/data/product_images/009/41469/00941469000-dlv.jpg"></center><p>I used a 1/4" ratchet, short extension, socket, and torx bit for the removal. The lower rear screw was tough since I could only get a couple clicks at a time. For the reinstall, I just bought a crafstman "5-piece reversible ratchet offset". The barcode is M41469. I have an extension to use with this kit that should make it much easier.
