I have a set of 15mm olive cutters to remove olives, so that I can reuse
the back nut.


Just carefully cut across the olive with a hacksaw, and stop before you
hit the pipe. A screwdriver in that slot then splits it. And if you buy
spare olives, you can re-use the entire thing.


It isn't always easy to get a hacksaw in the right place. other pipework
often gets in the way, which is why I bough a splitter
