Default rack & pinion flare nuts '98 vtec

Just bought this car and due to the LOVELY state of MD inspection policy, I need to R & R the steering rack.
98 accord vtec (auto).

I can't seem to get any leverage on the feed & return line flare nuts to get them off. Anyone have any tips or tricks for this? I'm debating whether buying a flare crows foot will get the job done.

If it's similar to a 5th Gen, yeah, you'll need crowfoot flarenut wrenches. Cheap @ Harbor Freight.
