UPDATE - Well i picked up a set of universal joint sockets yesterday and played with it a little this afternoon.. It is such close space even the 1/4" universal was too long.. I can get a socket on the nut there there is NO room behind it to get a rachet on it.. :-(
I also tried a wrench on it.. You cant even get the socket end on the nut, but you can get the open end on it BUT you can swing the wrench <1.5" at a time if i got it loosened up..
So it appears that unless I take a lot of other parts off I will just have to live with my leak.. I am taking some time off tomorrow, so I will keep playing around and see if i can figure out a fix..
thanks for all the help
