That nut was bad about freezing up and the stud coming loose before you could get the line off. I have been able to get a thin wrench under the line bracket and hold the stud while breaking the nut loose.
A nut splitter might work if there is enough room to use one.
I think, I would cut the bracket before I would tear the line up, if I couldn't get the nut loose.
It would take some time but you might grind a side off the nut with a Dremel tool and get it loose.

Just caught this thread, hope it's not too late.
