no trick, just the 1 nut where the p/steering line is, just sounds like the o-ring is held in place by corrosion or gunk, just keep trying it'll let go eventually, rotating it won't do much as the O-ring will be twisting on the tube and stuck to the timing case cover...
Try spraying some crc/inox/wd40 in around the O-ring, may work.
If there's enough room turn it so the bracket is at a right angle to the engine/it's original position, support the end where the hose connected with 1 hand and tap the bracket as close to the pipe as possible with a hammer gently to try dislodge it, don't bash it and let it go on a huge angle as the timing cover is only cast aluminium.
