[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3279359, member: 29706"] Better to replace it and honestly it shouldn't be that expensive or hard to find. If you really want to try it though you will probably have to use an oven and a small propane torch to do it. Heat the whole thing up in the oven then use the torch to get the solder to really flow. I would then slide it back in the oven and turn the oven off and let it cool down that way. But you will have to get the whole part good and hot to get the solder to flow all the way down into the base of the crack. [/QUOTE]
