I found the time tonight. I had an old Motorola chassis that had a similar tube socket. After robbing the socket, I cleaned off the solder on one of the pins, then I used some short needle nosed pliers to "flatten" the small indentation in the contact. I then used some small narrow duck bill pliers to push it up and out of the socket.
I then cleaned up the contact. Ready for the tuner.
I pulled the tuner and removed the turret. Lucky me. the #1 pin on the 6J6 was the easiest one to get too! I removed the solder and the resistor and jumper wire from the old contact.
I inserted the "new" contact and used a small flat 1/8 dia. pin punch and a small hammer to drive it home. It felt secure.
Then I rewired the contact with the jumper wire and resistor.
I then tried the tube in and out several times. Good to go!
Thanks to ElectronicM for the suggestion.
