Hi Bryan, it is sometimes possible to re-flow the solder at the end of the pin. However if the base is also loose it would be better to remove the solder from all pins, remove the base, extend the wires (suitably insulated) and then resolder to the clean wire.
This trick is in several of the FJ Camm books
