Make sure you have your patience at max however. Have to cram your hand down in there. Hard to get much of a turn per wrench setting. That's why the suggestion for crow's foot - - I think it was for a crow's foot FLARE wrench, a rare bird (or rare bird foot, I guess).
I think I recall doing the bulk of the loosening and retightening using an open end wrench angled steeply - - nearer parallel with the line than at right angles to it. That lets you get more degrees of turn.
Make sure before removing that you release the clamp that holds that steel line to the inner fender well, it's a torx head fat sheet metal screw. In rust belt grab head with vise grips and crack it free, then use torx to loosen more. Oil threads before reinstall.
The big bear as I recall was getting things dead square to START the threads and getting the flare nut to run in without angle friction on reinstall, at master cylinder end.
Then I read the advice on here: Loosen the two 13mm nuts on the studs that hold the master cylinder to the firewall. If it can float around it's easier to align the threads.
