So I've been told this relatively simple... However in my world nothing is ever that simple!!

I have a leak which is now identified however for the life of me I can't see how to remove this fitting to reseal.. Any help or should I just cut beneath the joint and then replace the entire fitting with push fit 👍

It's the 90 degree bend I am looking at (plastic and copper)

Ta in advance

The official stance is you can’t there one shot

now there should be some holes in the blue collar / ring get a set of circlip pliers and insert the ends into a hole either side and turn the pliers (undo) keep going until the blue piece comes out you should be able to disassemble now just cut the stainless ring off with some snips
 
OK dokes, so it's better to just cut away and lengthen the onward connection to the toilet then...

It's a little messy behind there when the original plumber fitted it, they haven't left much room to get to the fitting but I reckon could squeeze a push fit job on there if I just chop it off...

You'll need the correct insert for that grey pipe, no insert, or the wrong insert could see the fitting blow off at a later date. There may be one in the end of the grey pipe going into the 90 that you're removing.
