Default Removing high pressure power steering line from rack

How did you guys do it ? I tried using a 14mm open end and im not slipping but i just cant turn it. I tried a breaker bar with a crowsfoot and theres not too much room. Any ideas ? BTW this is for looping the power steering lines.

Tried it but cant get enough behind it with a small wrench. If i use a big wrench then there is nowhere to move the wrench.

I tried a pipe wrench, open end wrench, flare nut wrench, breaker bar with a crowsfoot, and also vise grips. Nothing has been able to turn it. In the manual it says to use a 14mm flare nut wrench but i cant get anything behind it. Pliers i doubt would work if vise grips are slipping. And i also sprayed it with PB blaster

I did it a few years ago but, I think I cut all the lines then removed the rack. After it's out the fittings are EZ to get off

ok i got it....i cut the hard line and then used the box wrench to get it off. I still had to push really hard to get it off. Anyway i have everything hooked up and am getting a check engine light and ATTS light. I had to disconect one sensor that was on the high pressure line. Any ideas why i am getting this light ... ?
