Hi. Tried to replace a compression fitting behind the toilet today. The sleeve puller is too big to work in such a tight spot. The valve is behind toilet with just a few inches between it and the back of the toilet. Is there a compact tool to get the nut and olive off, or maybe a right angle type tool? I don’t what to grind and cut off the nut as it’s too risky for me. I took the valve off but had to put it on again as I couldn’t get the nut and olive off. While off, I was able to tighten the packing nut which has helped reduce the leak. It’s 25 years old and could do with replacing I’m sure. Thanks all.

well.. you could pull the toilet, that would give you a lot more room to work with...
anyway, i pulled my old compression fitting, cleaned up the end of the copper pipe, and replaced it with a sweat-on threaded fitting
the valve i replaced with a new style female threaded quarter turn stop valve
