Bobin,
Removing the mixing elbow from the manifold is a piece of cake - a recip saw with a carbide blade will do it in about 30 sec. This will leave half of the nipple in each part - also removable using the same tool. Each half gets two saw cuts on the inside about 1/4 inch apart - try not to get into the female threads. Knock out the pieces between the cuts, then collapse what's left of the nipples.
