Really not all that difficult Mark. Use the John Folsom method. You tack solder a 3 inch length of fine copper wire to each of the wires on the crt. Then you use the extension wires to "thread" the crt wires into the pins. Works like a champ. When you have positioned the new socket and taped it in place, and are soldering the wires in place, you can just pull the extension wires out as you solder. Try it next time!
