You can get imperial crowfoot spanners that are great for hose fittings in tight spaces. I know snap on do most sizes, but a search on ebay should find you the size you need. What fitting is it?

If your worried about marking the ali fittings wrap them in a bit of tape.

If possible can you post up a couple of photo's of what your doing and also what parts you've used as I need to do this to my 893 blade when the SVA's out of the way.

you sure your trying to fit it to the right place?

mine is at the front of the engine and has plenty of room around it
