wrench
Don't know if there is enough room on the rear spheres but for the fronts I use a large set of water pump plier -absolute doddle.

splash out, save your knuckles
Probably too late now, but I bought the Pleiades tool- pricey maybe but it's the best for the job, and I've tried and broken a few over the years, inc the draper strap wrench.Even the rears (spheres) on 2 bxs and a xantia were easy peasy! (and no, I'm not connected to Pleiades)
