It depends on how the connection between the two is made. You might have a hard time finding a plumber that still knows how to replace the connection, much less do it yourself.
: In the wall behind the bathroom sink in my house, there is about 2 feet of lead pipe. It connects a 2 inch copper pipe that goes into a vertical drain to a 1and1/4 inch brass pipe that comes out of the wall and connects to the trap under the sink. That brass pipe needs replacing. How do I get it out of the lead pipe? How how can I repair it? I've never worked with lead pipe before.
