Darn rack bolt

Fellow listers -
I'm trying to install a new pump-to-rack hose today, but I can't get the
banjo bolt to screw into the rack. Not while the hose is on it, anyway.
I've done this twice before, and it's always a pain but I get it
eventually. This time I've been trying for about an hour, just to screw
in that bolt. No luck.
Any tips?
I've taped the crush washer to the hose, which keeps me from dropping
the crsuh washer over and over (figured that trick out the first time I
had to do this). I've got the Pentosin reservoir out of the way, mostly.
I can get my left hand in there to turn the bolt with thumb and
forefinger or just two fingers, but either way I can't really see to
tell if the bolt is going in at the right angle. Oh, and I have not
connected the hose at the pump; I suppose I could try that for a change
of pace.
Thanks,
- Wallace
