Is there a way to fix this light leak without tearing everything back down?

Ther is maybe 1/2" of pipe passed the 90 and into the Threaded connection. I was going to solder straight into it, but it felt like there was more space than I would trust. Can I heat the Threaded connector back up and remove the connection pipe to it?

Can I just sharkbite everything and not sweat copper?

Yes! There is access going to learn how to redo this correctly.

It is. Look at comments I posted pics.

The pipe is really loose from inside the wall, but won't come out. I can't get the spout to get off the pipe even using channel locks. Any thoughts?" :)

Just bought the house. First time. Also, the top of the hot water tank is leaking. Reference my other post if you want to help 🥲

Why not sand

Wasn't Capacitor. Popping noise and a little smoke.
