How to remove and replace charging port

How to remove and replace charging port I've seen the video and the teardown instructions. Unfortunately, they don't address the removal of the charging port from the board and replacement.I've purchased the replacement part, but the one in place does not move even when I apply force.

All you need to use is a heat gun or even hair dryer, it'll take a bit longer by using the hair dryer, but it's possible. Whatever you do, DO NOT force the charging port off. After heating it properly, it will easily come off, just be patient.

"After watching countless videos and unsoldering, I believe that the four tabs are indeed soldered. Maybe. The factory appeared to use something other than solder but it responded quickly to a heat gun (time will tell if I accidentally damaged the board because my heat gun is rather large), and popped right off. The trickier part is soldering each individual wire back into place. My soldering iron at work is rather small as we use it on automotive circuitboard prototypes and even that was rather cumbersome to work with. These wires are so close together...
