How do I take off then reattach a phone line connector?

Hey, I want to run a phone line through to the next room and I have a really small hole that doesn't fit the plug through the hole unless I were to take the plug off. Is it difficult to take the plug off the line then reattach it? Do I need a crimper or some special tool?
 
If you're talking a modular connector, you will need to get a new one. A crimper is used to attach it to the wires. In a pinch I have used a pair of long nose pliers. Results vary.
 
As others have said, you can't re-use the RJ11 connector.

You can get a crimper + dies + connectors for like $15 at any store with an electronics section, making phone cables is easy.
