Anyone ever tried tightening this fluid line's connector without taking the rack off? Not a lot of room to work with and wondering if anyone has tried it or has any tips. Mine worked it's way loose and was less than finger tight! I do have a small adjustable crescent that barely fits but there's no room to swing it.

A crows foot socket should work in there but it’s tight in there, for certain, Shirley.

+1 on crows foot extension. Cheap at harbor freight, free replacement if you break them.

Crows foot socket did the trick, thanks everyone!
For anyone in the future trying this, the combination that worked for me was: 18mm crows foot socket -> universal joint -> extension -> wrench.
