    Get 60/40 lead solder and a good butane soldering iron, should only take a minute or two. You really have to crank up the heat on switch and coil soldering.

    It gets easier the next time you do it (and you will have to do it again)

    Quoted from wayout440:

    strong mechanical joint should be fashioned before soldering

    This is 100% true, but I have to admit I've bent the rules a few times, in those hard to reach places, where you just can't get a wire to stay by itself, and you don't want to remove the whole assembly or pf to get to it...

    +1 on those mechanical hands, and hemostats for under the pf!
