Pretty much.
Saw as close to right angles as you can, so you make a slot along the
olive. (junior hacksaw may be easier)
Now, before you hit the pipe, put in a largish screwdriver, and force
the olive open.

Any time I have had to do this it's a case of using a junior hacksaw
being carefull not to saw the pipe itself then prise the cut open
using a suitable screwdriver .

LOL, good spot that I missed it first time round!

Slide a steel drift up the pipe.
Using this as an anvil, work round the olive tapping it lightly with a
small hammer.
That expands the olive and it falls off ready for re-use.

Junior hacksaw, then a screw driver to split it the last bit.

Just so, or a fine flat file in confined spaces.

If you can get access to the upstream part of the tube. Run a loose
compression nut of the right size down the pipe and tap the nut from
behind with a hammer in the direction you want the olive to go.

Problem with hacksaw way is that the slightest nick on the pipe and you
could get a leak.

Get a spanner that just fits over the pipe and use it as a slide
hammer on the nut that goes over the olive.

Yes I agree with that.

Or an adjustable spanner, slightly heavier for the tapping action.Always worked for me. Wouldn't trust myself with a hacksaw.

More senile ramblings. Sad we all know. They should make sure they go to
the drop-in centre most of the time.
