I saw orange or yellow paint on the nut. It's dark under there and it's a Japanese car so I think it is Loctite but I am not sure. I used a flare-nut wrench but I can't seem to loosen it without destroying it. I have got to a point that the wrench is about to round off the hex head still it won't give in.

Heat it. Carefully, since it's near a hose.
