I took a look at a spare chassis I have and it has a CRT socket with a Phenolic cover that is held on with two small screws, if your set uses this type of socket then repairing it is simple, just remove the cover and resolder the wire to the pin. If the used the one piece type socket on yours then you will have to find a way to remove the pin connector and reattach it.
Use great care when plugging and unplugging the socket from the tube, the HV pin on the tube sometimes gets corroded and brittle on these because of the high voltage running through it. A little WD-40 rubbed on the pins can make it slide on & off easier.
