Even with flares? Heat could help. Vice grips will likely demolish the fittings further but will also probably work. Been there, done that!

A propane torch will break it free…been there, done that. Next time assume it's seized up so you don't round off the flare nut. At this point, vice grips should allow you to loosen things up after you heat it. Replacing things are up to you…as I've been able to tighten things back up using the vice grips (with a rounded nut).
