Brass Nut and Olive stuck on shower inlet

[Dsmudge35]

Hi, 4th time I've replaced my Triton shower and never any issues. However this time was getting very little water and low pressure, loosened the nut and looks like the olive has slipped too far over and therefore I guess the plastic inlet is too far into the elbow bend.

Any ideas please of how to remove this nut and olive without causing any damage to the plastic pipe. Photo attached..

Cheers

You could use an olive puller?

You could use an olive puller as suggested, however I wouldn’t have thought it’s too far in. Likely to be something else, eg blocked filter, isolation valve stuck, etc

Thanks for suggestion, Ive temporary put the old shower back and that's working, so guess it must be the plastic pipe in too far or new shower faulty. Attached photos...

It can't really be that as it can only physically go so far in. Sounds like the shower to me.
