How to open this yellow push fit elbow

[LEGEND-87x]

Hi guys, quick question before I attempt to renew this yellow elbow whist I have access following the replacement of a different style elbow further along which just needed unscrewing and pulling off. Is this simple to take off? I'm thinking a small flat head in that slot to pull away the white bit away from the yellow bit and then I can pull the connector off? Or is it more tricky or requires a special tool?

Thanks.

Hard to tell, not something I've seen before that I recall. You could try your suggestion, but may have to renew it, as not all are demountable.

So I'm going to renew it with a JG speedfit elbow, but I don't want to mess about with it and get stuck trying to take it off and cause damage and not be able to turn the water back on!

Is it leaking?

I've had those in the past, it wasn't originally yellow. IIRC they used to come with white, blue and red end caps. This was when the collar was just an exposed ring

You can ping those caps off with very gentle pressure from a small flat-head screwdriver

Not this specific one, but elsewhere in the house there was a similar one that leaked last year, plumber fixed that issue. You're probably going to advise me to leave it alone. Whilst I have the ceiling cut, I thought I would upgrade the fittings to new one, for the sake of it.

So am I right to assume, the collet cover can be pried off with a flat head, then unclip the collet clip, then push the outer ring inwards and pull the pipe out?

Easier just to cut thru elbow with a hacksaw , gives access to the teeth holding it on the pipe.
