Yes but is there an easy way to get the old ones off?

Two methods:

Junior hacksaw and big flat bladed screwdriver. Cut through the olive
being careful not to touch the pipe. Put screwdriver into slot and
twist to expand/break the olive. Be aware of sharp bits of metal on
the broken olive.

Get an olive removal tool:

Sometimes you can ease the olive off by using waterpump pliers to pull the
back of the nut towards the end of the pipe, first at one side then the
opposite.

The operative word is "sometimes".
