As part of my insane quest to overcomplicate my CH system I need to remove

To complicate matters theres another soldered fitting just over an inch

Any tips on how to cleanly remove solder to eliminate the risk of my olive
not seating/sealing properly?

Desolder braid but I wouldn't like to bet on it working well enough.

Can you not cut something to get a clean piece of undamaged pipe?

I hate plumbing! Whenever things go wrong water gets everywhere.

Electricity doesn't leak anything like as much but if it does it kills!
