Yep, line wrench and if that doesn't work break off the line, squeezing it off if you can and drive a socket onto it. I just did this on my '95, I had to do it to both fittings on the steering box. This was so rusted I wound up using a tiny bit smaller in metric and driving it on with a hammer to get a real good grip on the line nut. It's a nightmare if you strip them.
