I'm assuming you took off the connector at the pump and are trying to loosen the one at the rack. If this is the case, then try using an extension/universal joint to get access. This will also allow you to change angles for more leverage. (You can also spray the connector with WD-40)

It's also best accessed from below, try a line wrench, also called a flare nut wrench.
