it comes off pretty easy - not that much elbow grease involved!
I wouldn't use a drill or any other power tool. One slip and you could
rip
a hole in the pipe and end you with a really nice shiny NEW one courtesy

If it is Leaking? You Better Disconnect the Join clean if with Eroy Paper
and ReSolder it..
For it WILL Get Worse, not Better , just when you Don't want it too..

For ust Cleaning th eCopper Pipe? Same as your Car Battery Connectors

Plain Old Baka Soda and Some Water..
Then Start with a ToothBrush , then Scrub brush then a Wire Brush If
Needed..

If Going to Replace the Pipe? use the PVC..won't corroded anymore..
