Any tips to tackle this one? It looks like you need to hold the line up by the clip, and use a line wrench on the steel line. Anys tips on breaking them loose. Also tips on the bleeder valve on the wheel cylinder. I don't want to round it off trying to loosen.

Get a set of line wrenches (box style with a cutout so you can slip the wrench over the tube, then on to the nut.)
On bleeders, use a box wrench (6-point if you have one) or the above mentioned line wrench.
