Just wanted to say that I just used this amazing tip to break loose the final lines that have been evading me for several weeks now! I held a 4lb sledge behind the hex nut and gave it a few enthusiastic hits with a 20oz estwing.You're gonna need two line wrenches to get that off. A line wrench barely fits around the line part because it goes around five corners of a hex nut, two of those together will let you apply force with both hands squeezing and not twist the steel line.
Hammering the flats like Willie described will help. Even if you only reach one or two, put some steel behind the hex nut and smack with the ball end of a ball peen hammer.
Or like cosmarr said, cut the hose and use a socket or box end wrench on that part, and a box end wrench on the bigger hex.

Oh yikes, you are correct, but I was unclear in my explanation, I hit the hydraulic fitting nut with the hammer. The 4lb hammer was held behind like a little anvilNever hit a hammer with a hammer........first rule offight clubtrade school
