Under the edge of my built-in tub corner tub, the 5 piece faucet set (h,c,tap,diverter,shower) is positioned, it has a valve akin to a tub/shower valve, and so it's cramped and the tub is glued in etc. so I can't move it, but the shower hose nut is dripping slightly, and there's only about 2.5" horizontal and about 30 degrees vertical swingroom in which to work! I think my construction guy installed it without plumber's tape--he has a "thing" about using it, he said when there's rubber washers there's no need but I always do, and I wish he had!!!
What do I do to fix this?? Thanks!

though I truly appreciate the basin wrench advice, I have one and this is a sinister situation where even it, will not work...because the nut is a mere 1/2" above another nut and I can't slip anything around it

Basin wrench it is! Here is a link to let you see a picture of one. You can get them at any Home Depot or Lowes.

it' called a basin wrench basically it is a long bar with a flexible head and spring loaded jaws that wrap around the nuts to remove them

"Missouri" is right, you can buy one from Home Depot for about ten bucks. It's a "T" handle with a "C" jaw end, also come in ratchet for mucho more.
