Changing soldered joint for push fit/compression

[MK22]

Hello, I have a 22mm elbow copper joint which is leaking. I’m no good at soldering, so I’m wondering if I can heat the joint off and replace with either a push fit or compression elbow instead? Would appreciate any help as not had this before! Thanks.

For push fit or compression you need the pipe clean.
That would require replacing that's section.
Better off heating up and pulling off the joint.
Clean off ( sand)
Re soldier.
It's not difficult.

Thanks. I tried soldering twice and both times had leaks. Not sure why, it’s not the easiest access being right up against a wall. Would pre soldered joints be ok to use? Thinking that’s another option

Pre soldered (possibly Solder ring you’re thinking of) need the pipe clean, fluxed, clean of dirt/debris et al, no water in the pipe and heat applied.

You can boil and bubble solder.
I try not to use heat and solder at the same time. You do but be aware.Go easy.
I remember my first attempt running 2 bath tap.About 8 joints and 7 leaked. I enthusiasticly heated and dumped solder on joints but the heat was too much so it just run out and bubbled away. All the copper was red hot.
Trick is to heat steady. Test solder without heat.
Soon as it melts take heat away and don't put back unless you need to.
Just need to relax and be sensible.
Watch video.
Have another go. Think about the heat.

Have you got a photo, just to see where it is positioned?
