Need help! Can't loosen clutch hose compression nut.

My son and I are replacing the clutch hose. That's the hydraulic line between the clutch master cylinder and the transmission. We did real well in clearing out everything above it, such as the battery tray. However, we hit a snag when we got to the compression nut that we need to unscrew to remove the clutch hose.
We can't get that compression nut loose. I'm very reluctant to apply too much force, for fear of harming the rigid pipe that goes to the transmission.
We do have plenty of room to work in that part of the engine compartment since we cleared away the battery tray.
Any ideas on how to get that compression nut loose? Anyone else have a similar problem that they solved and could give me some ideas?
Thanks for the help.
