Can you remove old solder and resolder a copper pipe connection? If so, how?

How do you Solder?
Icareaboutstuff asked:


I have a1.5″ vertical section of copper pipe leaking between two 90 degree elbows. Can those connections to the elbows be heated and the solder removed, the pipe cleaned, and a new section of pipe soldered to the same elbow connections?

I look forward to your response so I can get the water back on.
