You can do it with a ratchet ring spanner, but you might need the right bend in one. Still lots of little movements, but you can at least leave the ring on the nut the whole time.

I have a purpose modified spanner for that job. I bought a cheap spanner, cut the shaft down short and ground the back of the head down smaller to give it some more clearance.

I have a few specially modified tools like that. I only use ones that are bought for the purpose of modifying though.
