Anyway, I typically pull the pin, and replace, if im going to bend it back, i heat it up so it bends easier and less stress on w/e else around it as well as reflowing the solder. If youve never worked with soldering that stuff before, remember that a ew seconds of heat goes a long way. To much and youll burn out other components. Use a low wattage soldering iron (I use a 15w, some use up to 25w) and not one of those 250w guns. To pull the pin, jst grab it w/ needle nose pliers, then heat up the solder on the back of the board under it, itll slide right out.
Good luck!
