There is a very unprofessional method- but your equipment looks way too nice to use it.
You can use a hammer and dull chisel (assuming there is enough room in there to swing the hammer). Properly angled blows can be used to loosen the old nut and tighten the new one while only destroying one face of the nut.

I would remove the 90 elbow, it looks like it will come out, hard to tell though. Yes there is a o-ring under the nut on the fitting threads. Just take it with you to someplace that sell hydraulic parts and they can give you the right size replacement. I wouldnt go hitting it with anything, or you will end up having to replace that entire hose when you realize it wont seal back because its deformed from hitting it.
OK, I have a work around and it is awsome.
The factory says start at one end and remove all hoses then re-assemble. RIGHT! Dang...I found a better way...
The following 2 tools are a MUST HAVE (IMO) if you own a BX25.
The flare nuts on the hoses at the BH Valve Block are REALLY close together. I looked at every tool known to man and in the end the most expensive Snap On tools worked. Don't waste your time looking at others, I did, just buy these tools. Trust me...
Regarding the BX25 and the leaks at the BH Hydraulic Valve Block I have been having issues with THE SNAP ON TOOLS WORK. !!! I was able to get that flare nut to tighten easily a tad and no leaks yet. Next time I use it will be the real test but initial start-up and test showed no leaks.
CROWFOOT, OFFSET 3/8 Drive, 11/16 , 12 Point (AN850115B)
And the SOCKET, FLARE NUT, 11/16 6-POINT,3/8 Drive (FRX221)
Here is a picture showing both tools on the offending flare nuts! Between these two tools I do believe A man can fix most of, if not all hoses in this area w/o taking each hose off from one end as the factory suggests.

Awesome report! I beleive I have a crowfoot already, but that socket looks handy. I wonder if my o2 sensor kit has the right size? I'm gonna check and report back here. :thumbsup:
