Well I'm back from the job. Gotta admit, the pb blaster is magic stuff. I sprayed some on last night around 9 pm and started the job today at 1 pm. I used my flair nut wrench and the connector came off very easy

The only problem I had was the new wheel cylinder didn't have any threads on the inside of the hole to accept the new line WTF?? So, I went to my regular auto parts place and bought a third cylinder and will return to Canadian tire the one without threads. Talk about a 1 hour job gone horribly wrong.
Anyway, things are buttoned up now and I think it looks ok. I'll do a highway run tomorrow and make sure.
I never did get the loctite freeze stuff so I guess we'll all just have to keep on wonderin'
