Remove Stubborn Compression Sleeve

Doing The Work Is The Best Way To Learn...We changed Some Hard Angle-Stops!
What happens here
After removing the old angle stop, the compression sleeve and nut often remain tightly crimped to the copper pipe. To remove these, insert the compression sleeve puller tool over the pipe and position its nut onto the old compression nut. Tighten the puller's nut with a ratchet. As you tighten, the puller's screw will press against the pipe, forcing the old compression sleeve and nut off the pipe. This method prevents damage to the copper pipe, which is crucial for a new leak-free connection. The video demonstrates this with two different puller tools, one a simple bolt and nut mechanism and another with a ratchet, highlighting the ease of the latter.
Goal: If the old compression sleeve (ferrule) is stuck on the copper pipe, use a specialized compression sleeve puller tool to remove it without damaging the pipe.
