Just a suggestion if you don't happen to have a ring splitter (or hacksaw) handy; leave an extra inch pex on the fitting, torch the pex, pull it off with pliers. You don't have to cut the ring, and who knows? Maybe in ten years the pex will be made so thin that the rings could be used again!
P.S. Probably won't work too good with plastic fittings, but they're cheap enough.
