Again not to state the obvious, but have you tried lying underneath the car with it jacked up a bit. Then its pretty easy to see them/remove them :D

Another thought use the sockets that look like this:

_
/ \
\_/

Rather than the multi ones(can't think of the proper name.) These are harder to get on, but there is less chances of slipping and rounding with the 6 sided sockets. With a halfords socket set you HAVE to be able to do this job, come on geezer, if you haven't got one they are a 1/3 off at the moment, they are actually really good quality. Shame about having to walk into halfords in the first place though.

Edit:damn that picture of the socket looked really good on my screen :(

Cheers Jon, will try that, as it happens ive never had a prob with halfords.
Then again i only ever get stuff like spark plugs from them.
