Hey Artram:

If this is what I suspect it is....PEX type thermoplastic piping/clamp/fittings then you will need to cut the copper pipe about 6 inches from the connection and work with the copper pipe only. Otherwise you will need to find the correct PEX tubing/fittings/tools to work with and that will certainly take some time.

Like Tom asked, can you post a picture?

Look at the picture below...if copper band around pipe looks like copper band below then you have a pex piping with white thermoplastic piping...like I said..work with the copper pipe here!
