I did a demo on my kitchen and I crack the T piple (See pic bottom) and as well as I made a cut on the top pipe since the new cabinet block it. Now I am not sure how should I fix it, the top drain should goes to left kitchen sink and the bottom drain is goes to the Garbage Disposial.

I know you suppose to cut off the bad piece but there is no room to do the recoupling if I cut it and I don't want to open up a wall.

I look into RAM BIT but it is a bit expensive. Please advice what's the best way to fix this as all the coupling are GLUED.

Cut the bottom wye off just in front of the hud that is close to the wall , using a hack saw blade make two cuts about 1/4'' apart into the hub down to the pipe (cutting from one end to the other) carefully pry the cut piece of hub from the pipe , then carefully pry the rest of the hub off. You can do this with the top piping as well. Do not cut into the piping thats in the hub.

What he said. Cut out a sliver, pry and peel.

Took all your advice and use a hack saw to cut close to the pipe then I use a dremel tool to cut and sand off the PVC pipe to the right shape.

I then I prime and use the extra strong (thick) pvc glue to put in the new fitting as seen in the pictures and also fill in with the gap with new pipe insert.

Everything works now and doesn't leak!

Thank you all for the help.

I've got to give you credit on the "peel the hub" technique. Its often easier said than done.
 
I agree with John , tubular trap is the way to go. You did a great job on removing the old fitting.
