Help Broken USB Port, Self Fix Help?

[piginawig]

Hi everyone, new to the forums. Yesterday I took the charger out and the inside of the port broke off and a piece of it was stuck in the cord itself. It has been getting looser and looser and this was the breaking point.

Anyway, I have found a replacement USB port online but I have no idea how to install such a thing myself. Can anyone with experience with the internals of the Thunderbolt help?

Thanks a ton.
