Calculate wrench size?
To calculate wrench size you measure across the flat surfaces of the nut or bolt, then pick a wrench marked with that size. Be careful, there are metric and SAE nuts and bolts and some wrenches are close but not right. -For instance you should not use a 1/2" wrench on a 12 mm nut. -It may look right, but will round the edges of the nut.

What is a flare wrench?
A flare wrench, also known as a flare-nut wrench, tube wrench or line wrench is used for gripping the nuts on the ends of tubes (like automotive brake lines and household plumbing). It is similar to a box-end wrench but, instead of encircling the nut completely, it has a narrow opening just wide enough to allow the wrench to fit over the tube. This allows for maximum contact on plumbing nuts, which are typically softer metals and therefore more prone to damage from open-ended wrenches. See images of flare nut wrenches by searching google and see what purchase links pop up. Cheers

What tools should be used to loosen the nut on the end of a brake line?
A flare wrench is the proper tool. Looks like a box end wrench with just a slot cut through the end to go over the line. Grips on 3 sides of the nut so that hopefully it doesn't round off the sides of the nut. Some WD-40 or similar wouldn't hurt and a hammer to give the wrench a sharp tap to break contact on the nut. Vice grips if you have to.

How do you replace brake lines for a Honda accord?
Your question needs some clarification. If you meant to say how do you replace the front/rear flexible brake hoses (assuming you have rear disc) or how do you replace all of the brake lines on my Accord that would greatly help direct a more direct response. You should have specific hand tool before changing your brake lines, and that is a flare nut wrench. I have a 10mm and 12mm flare nut wrench that works well. This wrench if thicker than a standard wrench and one side is approximately 75% closed (like a box end wrench) to allow for more contact area and reduce stripping the flare nut. There are also clips that hold the line to a bracket where the 'hard' & 'flexible' lines connect. Leave this in-place until you have loosened the connector (and install the clip) before you tighten the connector
