Fixing a SYNC 3 APIM GPS Connector

[MixTape]

Hey all, has anyone fixed or replaced the GPS connector on a SYNC 3 APIM before? The connectors seem pretty easy to source, but I'm wondering how hard it would be to solder to the board. Here's a picture of the connector with the outside part missing, not sure how much work it would be to fix it:

It looks like it's just missing the actual connector part, and that the coax part looks pretty in-tact. Any suggestions or other people with a similar experience? I got the module off ebay for a pretty good discount due to the broken connector.

Probably need some pretty damn good microsoldering skills, I'd have to see what a non damaged one looks like attached to be able to say for sure. Assuming it just attaches to those 4 holes it might not be too bad a job.

Your picture doesn't show up.

[MENTION=9890]MixTape[/MENTION] can you get a picture of the where the connector meets the board on that blue one? I'd imagine if you have a local electronics repair shop that specializes in microsoldering it could be repaired.
