Deconstructing frame

OK lugged 531 steel frame broke, replaced it.
I'd like to get out the torch and "play" this winter with it. What does it take to unbraze this? Do I just set it up so gravity lets the brass flow out? Is there something like "solder wick" to suck it out? Cut a piece out so I can pull & twist while it's melted? Just trying to get an idea of what I'm in for.
