It is a standard right handed thread. Use penetrating oil and lots of
patience. Turn anti-clockwise to remove. It is a soft brass thin wall
male threaded "flare nut", and using a standard open end wrench on it will
often crush the fitting making it nigh well impossible to remove. Always
use a flare nut wrench on this fitting, accept no substitute tool. If you
bugger it up and have to cut the line to replace that funny nut, it's about
$90 for repair at a specialty shop.
