how can i remove olives without damaging pipe?

how can i remove olives from fixed pipes, so that I can change isolation valve

Either don't remove it, just wrap some ptfe tape around old olive and re-use old nut on new iso, or gently cross cut a groove in the olive and then stick a fine bladed screwdriver in and twist it, olive will snap and hey presto

if your changing isolation valve you don't need to remove the olive or nut.
