Whether to swap connector or wire is a judgement call for you to make. If the original wire is damaged or significantly deteriorated it may be best to replace it...if all it needs is a clean you may want to keep it.

It typically solders to the bottom of the HV rect socket... how much of a job it is to swap the whole wire varies from chassis to chassis. Gotta look yours over and assess it to make a decision. Be aware that the solder joint under the HV socket needs to be smooth...any sharp points will encourage arcing and or Corona.

Changing the connector: typically you grab the fingers with needle nose pliers and pull the fingers and lead out from the center of the suction cup and unsolder the fingers from the wire then yank the cup off the wire...the old cup will be crusty and difficult. Most newer cups you find will be the same process ( only you have to do it twice forward and once in reverse for a swap), but there are oddballs out there. When transplanting note how the new part was put on and match the workmanship.
