Getting to Hard to reach Spark Plugs

Looking for some help removing the spark plug covers from a 2000 Chevy Malibou. Where can I find a tool that will help me to reach behind and pull the covers for cylinders 1,3 & 5? I've seen a couple that look like they would do the trick until you get them home and they aren't long enough or they need dsome 'funky' bend in them to reach the covers.

Quite a few tool companies have started making ratchets with 22* bends in the handles that are good for reaching spark plugs.

Reaching the actual spoark plugs isn't what I'm concerned with. It's removing the splug "caps" and/or plug wires from the plug. I can't seem to reach the backside of the engine to pull the plugs caps/covers/boots off. I've tried pliers but I haven't had much luck, if any at all.
