Default Tightening leaking shower waste pipe in a tight space

I've just replaced the macerator in my bathroom, and the shower trap
has started to leak at one of the joints between the trap and the
waste pipe. I guess I disturbed the joints during the replacement.
Here's a pic of the trap and waste pipe under the shower:

Sorry, the requested page does not exist.

My problem is that the space is very tight: I can only just about get
my hand to the waste pipe connectors, and it's difficult to apply any
force to tighten or undo them.

Are there any tips on screwing / unscrewing pipe joints in confined
spaces? Maybe some sort of special tool?
