Oh, it pains me to say it, but Faeflora is correct. Closed end wrench, and smack it with a mallet to break it loose. Once it's loose, you can use your fingers to get it out. Hardest part of the whole thing is getting the line reconnected without cross threading it.

I ------- did that ---- with the shittiest and cheapest harbor freight wrenches when I picked up my Miata, Gearhead. If Fae can do it, and if I can do it with harbor freight crap in a parking lot, you can do it.
P.S. Get a damn clutch line so you never have to go through this annoyance again.

You need a stubby ratcheting wrench that bends. I forget if those bolts are 12mm or 10mm, so something like this. With the correct one you get the bottom one from below and the top one with a 6 inch extension on the end of a socket.
