I have a GE XL44 Model: JGBP35GEP3WG. I turned off the power to the range and removed the door, the oven pan, and the 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.

The oven back igniter was easy to get at, but the 1/4" screw heads are downward facing and impossible to get at with any tools. The solution was to remove the oven drawer to access the two bolts that hold the burner to the back of the oven. The burner pops off and allows the screws to be removed with a 1/4" socket and the new ignitor to be refastened with ease.
