The tubing is disconnected by using two wrenches, same as the power steering pressure line in this picture:

a little bit of heat goes a long way ,, try hitting the outer casing with a bit of heat like propane so it will expand a little .

Will try , thanks for the idea.

Btw , the new cable is a joke , over twice more expensive for LHD then for RHD car.

Before you guys totally kill this fitting, try doing it the correct way:

He IS doing it the correct way .. you are talking about removing the fitting from the line, he is just trying to get the line apart. two wrenches, , they can be tight AF

Yep, those connectors can be separated using conventional wrenches, but if it's really stubborn and won't budge, better not force it and just get a flare nut wrench set that fits around the whole thing and gives you a better grip:
