Looking at it I'd say hold the blue "nut" with one spanner while undoing the red nut with another spanner

ok cheers for the replies - as dumb as my original question was lol i meant the whole fitting form the standard ford connections as i wish to use them again ....

i realise the nuts can be undone but obviously when fitting to another focus it will need to be sealed to original pipes - thus wanting to remove whole thing?

total amateur here so be gentle folks

There will be compression olives used, so total removal will require these to be cut off. And good chance that will result in damage, if the base pipe is not already squashed some too.

They're not a great solution, although on steel pipes maybe not so bad.
