    It’s crimp on, you just destroy them to remove. You can replace with the screw type.

    Sometime you can get ahold of the joint with channelocks and twist and they release... other times it’s more painful. Worst case use a dremel tool and cut them off.

    Sometimes you just cut the pipe, lose an inch, replace the fitting be done with it.
