Tips for removing power steering pressure line?

A couple of day ago I found out there is a small crack on my power steering pressure line which causes fluid leak, and I decided to replace the line by myself, it took me about less than five minutes for the first couple of screws as I work along the line down to the last one which is the fitting that connects the line and whatever is down there, I found out it was extremely difficult to get it out, any tips for getting that out? Thanks. And also is there any O-rings on the fittings? I wasn’t sure, the old one that I took off has no orings on it.

What year RX7? Posting a picture of what you’re dealing with would be helpful.

Not familiar with the FC's, but it looks like you should stop with the open-end wrench and get a line wrench on it. Is it accessible from any other angles? Will removing anything else first give you better access? Have you looked at the Factory Service Manual to see if it has any info?
