howdy,
junior hacksaw method is effective but you could try this:
1:clean all the gunge+remove old PTFE
2:spray whiskey delta 4-0
3:manipulate very carefully with waterpump pliers(most of the time the olive will slide off)

Thanks for the tip sr72
DOn't try to cut all the way through the olive or you'll risk damaging the pipe. Stop short and use a sharp screwdriver to twist in the slot which snaps the olive. I usually use a penknife blade - run to and fro a bit it deepens the slot.
