Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)

I read the posts regarding the replacement of oven igniters. I have a GE XL44 Model: JGBP30BEA3WH
I turned off the power to the range, shut off the gas and removed the door, the oven bottom. There is no flame spreader. After this, I noticed the igniter was secured to the oven gas supply tube by two small screws. The location of these screws is in an awkward position-beneath the igniter and very close to a large metal bottom.
The pliers I used to remove the other screws wont work because of the closeness of the igniter to the large metal bottom.

I do not have a lot of tools. Can someone please tell me what kind of tool I can get to handle the removal of these small screws in this tight space. In addition to the tool I should purchase, any other ideas on the replacement of this igniter will be greatly appreciated.
