Replace it. Too hard to solder it well enough.

No no no, get the Bosch O2 sensor P/N 11027. It is the same exact sensor just without a connector. So use the old connector (that is probably still in the car) and save yourself an arm and a leg.

I don't know if you have Walker sensors down under, but if you do, their P/N 250-21000 will also work the same way as the Bosch 11027 and normally is only $20 USD.
