Right hand threads, can be very stubborn.

The lines are oxidized and can be pretty much welded together. Heating is an option but you need to be aware that it may solidify oil or some lines have plastic sleeves that may melt. If the nut is on the piece you're replacing what I do a lot is take a hack saw blade or use a whizzer if there is room and cut a groove in the nut and use a screw driver to spread it. If I'm forced to use a hack saw blade I always set the cut stroke towards me and wrap the end I'm holding with tape. If the nut is on the end you're trying to save instead of spending hours on it I just order a repair end and cut the line. I've never had a repair end more than a day away and never had one leak if installed properly. One big key is not to over tighten them.
never argue with a fool, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
