Power Steering Problem?

I have a 96 Oldsmobile Ciera SL sedan. I have a power steering leak, either in the high pressure hose or the return, I do not know which it is, but I can see the leak. But to be able to replace the hose, I need to get the old one off. The problem is that the fitting is on at such an angle that i cannot remove it. Penetrating oil and a flare nut wrench would be my first choice, but you cannot fit any regular tool down in the nook. Is there maybe a special tool used for this, or would I need to remove the obstructing parts?
