Use a line wrench and nothing else. Sometimes P'Blaster or penetrating oil can help. If you're good at torching things without melting them, you might heat the fitting and move it back and forth in very small increments with the line wrench. WARNING!! DOT3 Brake fluid is flammable and will boil even before igniting. DO NOT ATTEMPT to heat the fittings unless you have the proper protective equipment.

What is the function of the brake?
Brake shoes are an integral part of the braking system of a motor vehicle. When a driver steps on the brake, the brake shoe is the mechanical part that he or she is ultimately controlling to bring the car to a stop. The backing of a brake shoe is a metal part, but the area that actually comes in contact with the brake is padded to provide friction to stop the car without damaging the brake itself. Brake shoes are found inside of drum brakes; disc brakes have calipers, which serve the same function in a slightly different way.
