Small pipe wrench if it is going to be replaced anyway. Use line wrenches when installing the new one. They will keep it from getting buggered up.

Cut it off just above the fitting, and re-double flare the line with a new 3/16" fitting...

Just replace that section of hard line and use compression fittings if you don't know how to flare.

If you use compression fittings they must be very tight. The flared ones are pretty leak proof but do what you have the tools and expertise for. Brakes are pretty important so don't try to use the cheapest thing you can find. Use good quality tools and supplies.
