How do you reattach a wire on a desoldering heating element?

I had a wire come off the heating element on my hakko 808 today and obviously I can't solder it back on. I thought about taking it to work and using the TIG machine but im sure ill end up destroying it somehow... So the replacement element is $50 and a new unit is $200 so im thinking on upgrading.
 
I'm pretty sure that stuff is TIG'ed into place.

Edit: Silver Solder, maybe?. Brain malfunctioning, can't remember how exactly they do it. :/
