Help fast, replacing clutch soft lines with one piece braided

I finally found what seemed to be the only one piece left out there and I cant get the soft line off the hard line. The nut will not budge and I rounded it off using a 10mm.. How do I get this off PLEASE? The braided line has a swivel nut on it so I dont know if using vice grips will work just to get the soft line off. Thoughts? c

You need a 10mm flare wrench, or vice grips would work to break it loose. If you indeed have a one piece line though you will be replacing both that hard line and soft line. In that case just cut that hard line.

Mr. Nasir jones, I would make a tight fit on the bolt with vice grips and tap it slightly with a hammer.

new plan, I bought a flare wrench to see of that will work, cant have enough tools anyway. The slave may come off so I can get a socket on the banjo bolt to try and get it off, if need be I can buy a new slave and hardline.

Im begging at this point. Got the braided line in everything tightened down. Filled the master and the clutch pedal just falls the the floorboard over and over and over.... no pressure what so ever, how the hell am I supposed to bleed the system? I need to get to work tomorrow.

Loosen at the slave, depress clutch fully, tighten slave, pull pedal up

Repeat steps
until air is gone

DO NOT try and bleed like you would brakes.

Loosened slave bleed, depress, TIGHTEN

so each time you are loosening and re-tighting in between clutch pumps.

So even with no pressure and the fluid level not going down whether the slave bleeder is open or closed this will push air out?

I tried opening the bleeder last night and pumped the pedal a few times closed the bleeder and there was no visable change in reservoir fluid level. Pumped clutch a couple more times, nothing, went to bed.
