Memad,
Maybe you can cut the tube in the bundle if you can acess to him, i.e upper row or bottom row. If the tube damages is in the bundle middle it´s not possible.
Maybe but if you cut the tube is for not permit the corrosion increase maybe of for to check what if the cause or origen the problem (corrosion, material failure, etc.).
Napo.

Tubes can be cut or punctured from the inside wall to the outside wall with a special tool inserted into the tube end. Tubes are modified before plugging so that liquids cannot collect inside which might possibly lead to overpressure.
