I did the same repair - it's easy and effective. On my Brewtus II the tubing had a loop, so without the loop there was plenty of tubing after cutting it at the leak. Like Allen, I got a replacement, but didn't see any particular reason to install it. Finally did so on the theory that there must be a reason for the loop, but things worked fine without it for several months.
Not sure if you can do this with a separated shoulder, but its pretty easy. I'm pretty feeble when it comes to repairing things, but this was no problem. Good Luck.
