Replacing brake pipe

I decided to change the brake disks and fit braided pipes to the front of my 2.5 boxster. The nearside was no problem atall but the offside was a different prospect. When I tried to disconnect the flexible pipe from the main fixed brake pipe at the bracket on the inner wing it would not budge.

Nothing will turn the nut, I used the correct brake pipe type spanner, tried heat, releasing spray, then stillsons and finally vice grips. It will not move and now I think I have no option but to cut it and replace this pipe as the nut is ruined but still stuck.

Has anyone ever replaced this pipe and can give me an idea where the pipe run is or how much work will be involved in replacing it, it bends up inside the inner wing so I don't know if it runs outside the car before going up to the ABS unit.
