I wonder if it was heat or the buzzing that broke the joint loose.

I used flux and if it did not help it sure did not hurt.

There was hardly any old solder to deal with. All I did was heat the pin and it was "gone" around the base. I just used the solder the electronics store suggested I buy. Don't believe it is cored. Came in a plastic tube that is long gone.
