Most heater outlets on the block are punched in instead of screwed in and if you are not able to perform any sort of welding on it, you would need to have it replaced if the jb weld does not work.

Removing the tube should not be too difficult if you punch on it from the sides to loosen the tube. If the tube is badly corroded, that would be a problem. Getting a replacement might not be too easy so you might need to fabricate it from a tube of similar size.

If it is done correctly, it should work. I have used epoxy sealer before and it works.
