The compression nut defo wasnt screwed as far into the lever as the other side or as it is now. The olive looked untouched when I fished it out the lever. Dunno how I cocked that up so badly or how I managed to get a couple rides in on it like that.
It was the trails where I did my collarbone last year too so I’m glad it happened in the carpark!

I've removed the olives and barbs when re-hosing Hopes, it was PITA, would not recommend, unless you love the high risk of stabbing yourself

If it was installed correctly then the olive would be permanently attached to the hose afaik. I've never been able to remove a crushed olive from a previously installed hose before.
