If any amount of that gets into your system it will contaminate it, which A) is not fun to fix and B) not cheap. If you or anyone else ever encounters this problem, best method to do is use heat and not a propane torch cause it just wont get hot enough. You need to use an actual torch and you heat up the nut and just work it a bit at a time and repeat if needed. If you end up burning throw the line or it just wont come unstuck...it is okay to cut the line and reflare it. If it doesnt seem to be quite long enough initially, you can pull some more brake line down carefully as not to actually kink the line. If you dont feel comfortable with that, I would recommend simply buying a new line from the master cylinder to the hose. You want as little junctions as possible, less junctions= less chance of leaks and or blockages.

Does that include using thread sealer? (Tape or grease)
