Cut, add/subtract pipe lengths, couplings to accomplish.
The properties of the cement are designed to dissolve to a degree, the pvc pipe forming a bond that will not leak.
Beyond that,,,NO FITTINGS should ever be "GLUED" Yikes.
I'll suggest a new down drain from the sink, new P trap and secured by the proper fittings, without anything more than a Lock jaw expandable plier and perhaps plumbing, teflon tape, or putty.

When PVC pipes are glued, the glue is a chemically welded bond, like a welded steel pipe.
There is no way to get the fittings apart.
The half-inch is very minimal, but you may get a PVC coupling on it to make it up.
There, fortunately, is no real pressure on a drain pipe.
Use a liberal amount of PVC glue on that short half-inch and jam the coupling up tight with the glued fittings together.

HELLO FRIEND!!!!That would be a saw friend, a hack saw works well. Seriously though, I read an article in Popular Science that a liquid is in the works. A friend of mine did a neat trick, he had a connection, a small one,only down a couple of threads he used acetone, not fingernail polish remover, real acetone. We messed with it a half hour or so, da*m if it didn't work. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

close water off, cut back a million/2 in %line into close to the metallic valve.Unscrew the tip that continues to be on %line.Screw new valve decrease back on .replace the %setting up on the different end and then glue it decrease back to the unique line.

You will have to cut the pipe and put in another fitting.

some times you can use a propane torch and heat it up this works.You must be careful not to do it around any combustible material.
