Start by getting some flare wrenches, AKA tubing wrenches, to help prevent rounding off the nuts. Spray repeatedly for a few days with penetrating oil. I like Kroil penetrating oil if you can find it. PB Blaster is good to.

If you are talking about the valve located at the rear axle on the drivers side, it will be likely that at one or more of the three lines will twist off if there is much rust under the car. I hope not and Ronnie's advice is spot on.
