Trying to open the joint and resealing it is really a poor choice. The right
way
is to replace the entire section that is leaking. And since this sounds like a
very difficult procedure, I honestly would try an epoxy repair. Be certain the
joint clean and roughened, and dry before application. Another option is to
back
weld the joint with a hot air welder. This is probably the best choice for a
repair, and it could be topped with an epoxy for redundency, but a good epoxy
repair should keep you should keep you in hot water for many years.
