Hi, access is good here, from my experience retrofitting connections to stack at high level (inaccessible via ladder) is just a bad idea.
Would the only reliable way be to fit a boss socket? Leave the tee in or go in the wall and put a new tee in?
(leak is on the 1 1/2" connection to 4")

Cheers!

Mcalpine compression boss if you can and replace the tee your fixed at two points so no wiggle you could try and remove the tee eg leave the 11/2 in the wall and re glue a new tee with access on etc
 
Cut the 1 1/2” on the red line - leaves enough to get a fitting on.
Cut the 4” on the yellow line and remove 4” down to the black coupler.
Replace 4” from coupler with a boss pipe then plain pipe and finish off with a slip coupled to existing.
Then bring the 1 1/2” down to the new boss pipe.
