Some injection line sockets i thought might help. Obviously at the time i did not know what i was looking at. And yes, im keeping the sockets 😎

I wanted to thank all of you for the replies. I was able to complete the repair today. It turns out that it was not a threaded coupling but a parker push-lock fitting that had a bad o-ring. It was surprisingly easy to remove the hose and replace the coupling and reinstall said hose. As a bonus...
