You use the flare wrench on the hard line and and a standard wrench on the soft line. If you are going to trash a fitting, make it the one you are throwing away anyway.

You can try PB Blaster to loosen the nut. Failing that, the blue wrench (aka torch) maybe needed. A MAPP gas torch should do the trick.

As far as access, I was fortunate that I have access to a two post lift. If I was on my back, the job would have been much harder.
