How to tighten a mixer locknut?

Hi.

I am seeking help here to find the right tool or right way to tighten the mixer locknut. Now it gets loose and water can leak through into the cabinet. The size of the lock nut is 40mm and I have tried the adjustable wrench but due to the constraint space around the lock nut, it was impossible to put the wrench in and turn. I can do the hand tight but it gets loose every time I swing the shower head between sinks. I guess there must be a special tool I can possibly buy for this purpose. Please help if you know the answer. Thanks a lot!!!
