Make sure you use flared wrenches on brake lines, do not use regular box wrenches, you'll strip them. Penetrating oil can help but try and keep it off of the nut and only on the threads.

Have a MAP torch (yellow bottle) on hand in case you need to apply heat to help get the nut moving. In the future keep your bleed nipple and brake lines coated in fluid film or equivalent.

I find if the brakes don't get bled at least every 2 years then the nipples seize up. Salt is unforgiving.
