Put a wrench on the fitting and another on the cap. Lefty-loosey. That way you aren't putting any tension on the line at all. It won't turn the fitting on the line because you're resisting the torque going from the cap into the fitting with the other wrench that is on the fitting. The line just hangs while you're doing this, you're not putting any pressure on it at all.

Mine was not that tight , if I recall correctly . Pretty sure everything was right hand thread .
Nylog Blue is slick , you might put some on the threads ? Let set over nite ?
But may be too thick to penetrate ?
I bought a set of flare nut / tubing wrenches at harbor freight . I used the flare nut / tubing wrench on the small fitting ( that is brazed / silver soldered to the line and a box end metric on the big fitting ( flare nut ) . Less chance of slipping off & rounding the fittings .
I recommend this over two adjustable / crescent wrenches .
Looks like you have half the work finished . :-)
God bless
