[Elecraft] Leads to 2SC1969

[DR]

OK....I'm really in a pickle now.  After my third attempt to re- install the 
2PA transistors Q7 and Q8 so that I can put the heat sink on I managed to 
stress the leads so much that they are either broken off after the bend or 
they are near to the point of breaking.  Would it be ok if I just solder a 
wire lead to the hole through point then solder a lead to the remaining leg 
on the 2SC 1969's???
Thanks any advice would be appreciated.
