Brazing isn't hard, however I would practice prior to the repair, use the old one even if replacing.
If it's a copper to copper joint it's easier than an aluminum aluminum joint as not as touchy about heat, aka melting shit. Worse its gonna do it leak and leaks can be fixed.
This is encouraging. My concern was flakes of material circulating through the system. Brazing looks identical to soldering but with a LOT more heat.

Someone needs to develop an adhesive for copper !!
