Hi,
For dismantelling, see this guide (it's for another fix, but is the same):http://www.radioamatore.info/attachments/325_VR-500-switch.pdf
After dismanteled, desoldering the socket and clean very well, with a good solvent, the area of pcb; now, with the cianoacrilic glue, paste the socket in its position(to prevent future failures); soldering with little solder (better is for smd)...that's all.
Good luck,
Fabio
