I have found the easiest way is to use a 1/4" drive ratchet, a 6'" extension and a dedicated 1/2" swivel.

As I yield to your expertise, does the twice post diagram of the distributor-coil breakdown NOT show the condenser ground strap looping around and being "grounded" via the coil right side coil screw via 10/32 x 1-3/4 Round Head Machine Screw? Again, over the last month or so I have had the distributor and coil on and off our 39 Merc "several" times and that is how mine was. I have never seen on grounded via the distributor bolt like you describe AND the way I see the posted diagram it doesn't look like that is where the ground strap is "grounded???? Open mind awaits.
