once PVC has been put together in this way it is impossible to get it apart, the primer actually melts the pipe slightly, then when glue is added it actually fusses the pieces together. The only thing you can do is to cut it apart.
Cut the pipe near flush (leave a couple of mm protruding. Now apply heat - either a heat gun - evenly around the inside of the joint until the plastic statrs to blister or paint a coat of pipe glue around the inside and set alight - hold the opening vertical to heat evenly - it may pay to hold the fitting with pliers as it gets hot in both cases.
When heated slip a small flat screwdriver down between the pipe and the fitting and pry a section away from the fitting then get a pair of pointy nose pliers in and wind up the pipe like opening a sardine can - easy as
The burning glue method give just the right amount of heat by the time the glue is spent - take care with a hot air gun as it can over heat - you only need to heat the pipe section - not the fitting as such.

A lot depends on the stress factors and use that it's going to get. I've glued pieces to small concrete walls with 'thin set' cement and that works well as long as it's not subject to people jumping on on it like a step. I've also repaired edges of steps this way, but it seldom lasts a year. So far, I haven't found an actual 'glue' that works better with cement than 'thin set' .
