Well I would not hold him down and continue to brush him. you need to hold him down until he submits and then go about your task. You can even treat him while combing him so he can associate the task with something positive.
Also I think he will respect you more if you do make him submit. His feeling won't be hurt. He won't see you as a wuss, he will see you as the leader.
