That looks like regular right hand threads from here - just a tiny bit a of a thread visible but it appears to be going the right direction.

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.
