Trying to change bathroom radiator valves but I can’t get the old olive/nut off… any advice?

Also the small plastic part next to the pipe, will I need to put that back in before fitting new valve? (Complete novice)

You have to cut it right below the bottom of the olive

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.
