Removing an Olive from 15mm Chrome Plated Copper Pipe

Hi

Is is possible to remove a used olive from a 15mm copper pipe ?

The olive was compressed in a standard compression fitting, however I now need to remove it.

Cheers.

Carefully cut through it with a junior hacksaw, or if you want to spend money buy the special tool to remove olives, available in 15mm and 22mm sizes.

Whack the nut gently, repeatedly, and all the way around with a light hammer - you'll eventually drive it off, unless it's been tightened up stupidly tight onto the tube.
