Do them one at a time, and move your catch pan.

My TDI VW has a huuuge dipstick tube...sticking a pneumatic brake bleeder tool down it would be simple, and the filter cartridge comes up and out. There are probably other vacuum devices that would do the same thing. No real reason to go under it, if you don't want to.
